The Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) is a highway authority responsible for construction, maintenance and operation of toll roads in five counties of Greater Orlando (Lake, Orange, Osceola, Polk, Seminole, and Brevard 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.[2]
The Wekiva Parkway, the final piece of a beltway around Orlando, was completed through Lake and Orange Counties in January 2024.[3]
CFX operates an electronic toll collection system known as E-PASS, one of the first systems of its kind in the United States.[citation needed] 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 began accepting E-ZPass as a form of payment starting on September 1, 2018, but only on roads which they maintain.[4][5]
