Miami-Dade convert with ETC Corporation
An Idris Certified Licensee Company
 |
On March 31, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority (MDX) unanimously approved the contract award to ETC Corporation to implement a state-wide all-electronic toll collection conversion inclusive of state-of-the-art open road tolling (ORT) roadside systems and a new back-office Account Management and Toll Enforcement System (AMTES).
This multi-phase project is anticipated to be phased in between 2010 and 2013 as various construction and other milestones are met on the five expressways. Idris AT700 tolling technology is being implemented into the ORT solution, which spans five expressways encompassing approximately 100 lanes across 40 tolling locations. With the addition of this project, ETC Corporation has approximately 350 lanes of ORT either implemented or under contract.
Javier Rodriguez, P.E., Executive Director stated: “The Miami-Dade Expressway Authority’s ultimate goal is to keep our community moving towards the future and this project will provide a faster and safer commute for our customers. ETC Corporation is a leading systems provider with proven experience in delivering and operating the advanced systems required to realize these essential goals.”
The Miami-Dade Expressway Authority currently operates 12 toll plazas and 60 toll lanes on its expressways, serving approximately 800,000 users a day. Currently, MDX facilities are equipped with a combination of conventional, electronic, cash and ORT toll collection. All lanes will be converted to ORT under this project. |
