Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority


The Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) is an highway authority responsible for construction, maintenance and operation of toll roads in four counties of Greater Orlando (Lake, Orange, Osceola, and Seminole Counties). It was created in 2014 to replace the Orlando–Orange County Expressway Authority (OOCEA), which only had authority in Orange County, and as of 2016 no roads outside that county have been added to the system. Other toll roads in the area are operated by Florida's Turnpike Enterprise (successor to the Seminole County Expressway Authority) and the Osceola County Expressway Authority; with the latter of which possibly merging into CFX some time after 2018.

The Wekiva Parkway, the final piece of a beltway around Orlando, is planned for completion through Lake and Orange Counties by 2021.

CFX operates an electronic toll collection system known as E-Pass, one of the first systems of its kind in the United States. Use of the state's SunPass system is also available on CFX roads.

On November 9, 2017, it was announced that CFX would join the E-ZPass group. CFX plans to accepting E-ZPass as a form of payment starting in Spring 2018, but only on roads which they maintain.

CFX was founded in 1963 for the purpose of building the Bee Line Expressway, and soon built the East-West Expressway.

The following roads were built by CFX:

Many sections of the current expressway system, such as the connection of SR 528 from Sand Lake Road to I-4, the sections of SR 417 in Seminole and Osceola counties, and SR 429 south of Seidel Road, were built by the Florida's Turnpike Enterprise, and their toll facilities are managed by the same.
