Why was MDX created?

MDX was created to ensure that tolls collected locally on its system of five highways (SR 924, SR 874, SR 878, SR 112 and SR 836) would remain local, and be reinvested in local improvements to the system. MDX does not receive property or gas taxes, or funds from the half penny transit tax, and we do not receive federal funds or funds from the State of Florida Transportation Trust Fund. All projects are funded exclusively with revenue from your tolls. Toll revenues benefit the drivers who use MDX roads by allowing us to introduce new technology and safety improvements that enhance the overall driving experience. Because MDX does not receive tax revenue, toll collection is critical to helping us achieve our vision of moving Miami-Dade forward, into the future.
