  • Toll Roads in the United States: History and Current Policy
    TOLL FACILITIES IN THE UNITED STATES Bridges - Roads - Tunnels - Ferries August 2009 Publication No: FHWA-PL-09-00021 Internet: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ohim/tollpage.htm Toll Roads in the United States: History and Current Policy History The early settlers who came to America found a land of dense wilderness, interlaced with creeks, rivers, and streams. Within this wilderness was an extensive network of trails, many of which were created by the migration of the buffalo and used by the Native American Indians as hunting and trading routes. These primitive trails were at first crooked and narrow. Over time, the trails were widened, straightened and improved by settlers for use by horse and wagons. These became some of the first roads in the new land. After the American Revolution, the National Government began to realize the importance of westward expansion and trade in the development of the new Nation. As a result, an era of road building began. This period was marked by the development of turnpike companies, our earliest toll roads in the United States. In 1792, the first turnpike was chartered and became known as the Philadelphia and Lancaster Turnpike in Pennsylvania. It was the first road in America covered with a layer of crushed stone. The boom in turnpike construction began, resulting in the incorporation of more than 50 turnpike companies in Connecticut, 67 in New York, and others in Massachusetts and around the country. A notable turnpike, the Boston-Newburyport Turnpike, was 32 miles long and cost approximately $12,500 per mile to construct. As the Nation grew, so did the need for improved roads.

Rationale Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'A-' rating on Lee County, Fla.'s transportation facilities revenue bonds. The outlook is stable. The rating reflects our assessment of the credit profile of a three-bridge system that has stable operating margins, no additional debt needs, and traffic trends that have not yet stabilized. More specifically, the rating reflects what Standard & Poor's considers: • A well-balanced financial operations with the Sanibel Causeway, Cape Coral Bridge, and Midpoint Memorial Bridge representing approximately 37%, 32%, and 31% of fiscal 2011 net revenues, respectively; • A lack of significant competition from toll-free roads, combined with the county's covenant not to build competing facilities unless they will become part of the three-bridge system; and • Historically good senior debt service coverage, which has been no less than 1.7x since 2008, despite lower traffic

As with previous semiannual reports, the performance data presented herein is compared to data from the same period in the previous fiscal year. This document will follow essentially the same format as the prior report. Any changes in methodology or data sources will be noted in the document. During March 2020, the last month in the first half of the fiscal year, the Lee County toll facilities began experiencing negative impacts due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Lee County suspended all cash toll collections starting March 18, 2020 on all three toll facilities, offering only transponder or Toll-by-Plate payments. COVID-19 will continue to negatively impact Lee County toll facilities during the second half of the fiscal year, which will be reported in the FY 2020 Annual Report. These negative impacts can be attributed to social distancing guidelines and stay-at-home orders throughout the State of Florida. This has resulted in the closings of schools, restaurants, malls, sporting events, beaches and other public venues. As a result, many people have been furloughed or lost their jobs.

  • Sanibel Causeway Toll Increase Needed to Pay for Replacement Bridges Marine Lab Keeps an Eye on Water Quality Council Votes
    VOL 12, NO. 3 SANIBEL & CAPTIVA ISLANDS, FLORIDA JULY 23,2004 JULY SUNRISE/SUNSET: # 06:50 20:19 # 06:50 20:19 # 06:51 20:18 # 06:51 20:18 # 06:52 20:17 # 06:52 20:16 ft 06:53 20:16 Sanibel Causeway Toll Marine Lab Keeps An Increase Needed To Pay Eye On Water Quality For Replacement Bridges submitted by Lee County Department of Transportation ee County transportation and administration officials are proposing a toll increase for the Sanibel Causeway to pay for the replacement of its three Lbridges, a move necessitated in part by recent lawsuits and increased construc- tion costs. The proposal calls for the current $3 toll to increase to $6. The discounted prepaid toll would increase from 50 cents to $3. The eight other discount programs for the bridge also would increase. A complete list of the discount programs follows and is available on the Internet at leecounty.com/publicwords/sanibelcauseway. Depending on how frequent a user you are and which discount program you select, your per trip cost could be as little as $1.71. Go to the same Web site to see a chart of discounppro- grams and per trip costs. The Board of Lee County Commissioners will begin considering the proposal at its July 27 meeting (9:30 a.m.). County staff will recommend setting a 5 p.m. public hear- ing on August 10 to discuss, the proposed tolls. Both meetings will be in the County Commission chambers, Old County Courthouse, 2120 Main Street, in downtown Fort Myers. Timing is critical for a decision on the increased toll proposal: LeeWay's discount tolls programs renew each November.
