1. What Are Florida State Tolls?

Florida has one of the most extensive toll road networks in the United States, with roads managed by various authorities including Florida's Turnpike Enterprise, Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX), and Miami-Dade Expressway Authority (MDX).

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator estimates toll costs based on:

• Vehicle type (number of axles)
• Specific toll road or expressway
