EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT
 
Maureen Smith works in the mail room sorting letters, posting checks and responding to written customer inquiries.


How long have you been working with us?

14 years. I am a native from Jamaica and came to the U.S. in 2000. My first position was a customer service representative at our service center on West Colonial Drive. I also worked in new accounts before working in the mail room. 

What's your favorite part of your job?

I help out multiple departments and enjoy helping E-PASS customers. In 2002, I won the Employee of the Year Award for customer service!

What advice would you give customers about their E-PASS accounts?

Make sure that your account is always current with the most up-to-date information. When you move, get a new license plate or a new credit card, update your account so you can avoid any errors.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CFX!

The Central Florida Expressway Authority turns one this month! A lot has happened over the last year. We have a 9-member board, an executive director and a new commuter relief discount program kicking off in July. We're also excited to have started construction on our first section of the Wekiva Parkway! 

 

YOUR TOLL DOLLARS AT WORK

SR 429/Schofield Rd. Interchange
In May, CFX Chairman Welton Cadwell and Vice Chairman Scott Boyd led a ribbon cutting ceremony to open the new 429/Schofield Rd. Interchange in west Orange County. 

Congressman Daniel Webster, after whom 429 is named, was also there to celebrate the project.

NEW DISCOUNTS START IN JULY

Tell your friends how to save time and money with CFX! Starting on July 1, E-PASS customers who pay 20 or more tolls per month on CFX's portions of the beltway (417, 429 and 414) will receive a 5% discount on those transactions. These savings will be in effect during the next 6 years of I-4 Ultimate construction. 

 

We will continue to offer monthly volume discounts on our entire system. Check your statement to see these savings: 

  • 40-79 transactions = 5% discount
  • 80+ transactions = 10% discount

WEKIVA PARKWAY UPDATE

On Monday, June 8, we began construction on our first section of the Wekiva Parkway (see 1A below). This section will extend from where 429 currently ends near US 441 in Apopka to near Ponkan Road. It will include a full interchange at the Connector Road near US 441. Construction is scheduled to finish in the spring of 2017. Click here to read more. 


At this month's meeting, the Board approved the construction contract for our second section of the Wekiva Parkway (1B), scheduled to begin later this year. 
 
CFX REWIND

Thanks to the Central Florida Partnership, last month we hosted Leadership Orlando Class 89 at our headquarters for the group's transportation day. In addition to hearing a presentation about the agency, the class took an exclusive tour of the
E-PASS call center and the 408/Conway toll plaza.
