HAPPY THANKSGIVING

The Central Florida Expressway Authority wishes you and your loved ones a happy Thanksgiving! We're thankful that you choose our system to help get you where you need to go.

 

Just a reminder that both of our service centers will be CLOSED on Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday, November 27-28. 

INTEROPERABILITY WITH GEORGIA & NORTH CAROLINA

You can now use your E-PASS or SunPass on toll roads in Georgia and North Carolina! Customers with a Georgia Peach Pass or North Carolina Quick Pass can use Florida's toll roads as well. 

 

This agreement has brought us one step closer to nationwide interoperability. Stay tuned for more to come! Click here to learn more. 

SAFETY SPOTLIGHT

Safety is a top priority for CFX. We want to make sure our system is a safe alternative for drivers. This month, we're highlighting WORK ZONE SAFETY.

 

We've got a lot of construction going on right now and, especially during the busy holiday season, we take extra safety precautions for our customers. 

We will be suspending work on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. 

 

Unless there's an emergency, we do all of our road work during off-peak travel times. Please remember to slow down when driving through a work zone for everyone's safety. It's the law! 

CFX REWIND: ORANGE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS TEACH-IN

Three CFX team members participated in Orange County Public Schools' annual Teach-In on November 19. 

 

This event gives students the opportunity to hear from working professionals about future career choices. Classes at Apopka Elementary, McCoy Elementary and Colonial High School learned about how roads are made and the different types of careers that take part in the process.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR UPDATE

We're currently in the process of hiring a new executive director. Our board will individually interview each of the four candidates in December.
