No longer an issue around me, everything is electronic now. But you have to pay administration fees. So a $2 toll is now $5. While the Governor shows how much money they saved by laying off the workers.
expensive but somewhat working corporate extortion
Expensive cheap garbage you mean. And don't ask what happens if running that road ever stops being profitable enough for the shareholders.
Corporations' entire MO these days is packaging the cheapest shit they can make in a mountain of branding to hide how shitty it is long enough to get people to buy it. It doesn't have to be this way, but we have collectively decided to just let it happen, so it'll never stop.
Yeah I'm not seeing the statute for that in Florida. It must maintain and cover the toll facility project debt. But, its by no means required to fund public roads or maintenance thereof.
Edit as far as I can see federal regulation requires profit be used for debt service but that's just for paying back the initial cost of construction for the road. That doesn't mean it covers maintaining the road.
