Update of MDX Open Road Tolling Citizens Transportation Advisory - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Update of MDX Open Road Tolling Citizens Transportation Advisory Committee September 11, 2013

About MDX • MDX is an agency of the state created by the State Legislature and the County Commission to assure that all tolls collected on the MDX system stayed in Miami-Dade County and are invested locally. • MDX maintains, operates and improves the following expressways: – SR 112/Airport Expressway – SR 836/Dolphin Expressway – SR 874/Don Shula Expressway – SR 878/Snapper Creek Expressway – SR 924/Gratigny Expressway • MDX is governed by a 13 Board of Directors, appointed by the Governor and the County Commission. The FDOT Secretary for District 6 is also a member of the board.

How MDX Funds Projects • MDX primary source of revenue is the toll collected on its five expressways. • MDX does not receive federal funds or the State Transportation Trust fund. It does not receive any gas tax, property tax, impact fees or county transit tax. Only tolls collected on its expressways are used to fund maintenance, improvements and expansion of MDX’s system. • MDX borrows money by selling bonds and uses toll revenue as collateral, similar to a home mortgage loan where collateral secures the loan until fully paid in approximately a 30 year period.

Impact of MDX Investments to Date • All toll revenue invested locally • 32 new lane miles of added capacity • 87% of the system resurfaced (191 out of 220 lane miles) • Estimated 12,600 jobs created to date • Congestion ranking improved to 11 th place most congested (2011) from top ten in prior years [2011 Urban Mobility Report] • System safety upgrades implemented

Overview of Open Road Tolling (ORT) • In 2006, the MDX board approved an Open Road Tolling Master Plan to change toll collection to an all-electronic system on its five expressways. – SR 924/Gratigny Expressway, SR 874/Don Shula Expressway and SR 878/Snapper Creek Expressway were converted to all-electronic in 2010. • In the summer of 2014, the SR 112/Airport Expressway and SR 836/Dolphin Expressway will also go through a conversion to an all-electronic toll collection. – These changes will allow MDX to keep up with the current demand while planning and funding future needed improvements. • MDX’s goal is to make the commute for users safer and more efficient, while making payment of tolls fair and equitable.

Overview of Open Road Tolling (ORT) • On March 19 th , 2013 , after 5 Public Reviews and a Public Hearing, the MDX Board approved a new Toll Rate for – SR 836 of $0.70 per mainline gantry and $0.30 per ramp gantry – SR 112 of $0.35 per mainline gantry. • On April 30 th , 2013 during the regular monthly MDX Board meeting, a motion was made to take to the public for review and input a lower proposed Toll Rate for SR 836 of $0.60 per mainline gantry. • On June 18 th , 2013 , a second Public Hearing took place and the MDX Board approved the $0.70 per mainline gantry .
