E-Pass

[edit]

E-Pass has its own unique history, and is a larger system than SunPass in terms of number of users. It should be split off. --Kitch 14:52, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, there is not enough information to add to an E-PASS article, and most of the information on E-PASS would be duplicative of the SunPass article. Why not also have articles on O-PASS and LeeWay? Since SunPass is the statewide system, it is best keeping the SunPass article and making a brief mention of the local systems.

Simple. E-Pass is larger, has received numerous awards for innovation, and predates SunPass; it was the second electronic toll collection system in America, pre-dated only by E-ZPass. In fact, there were and still are issues between the E-Pass and SunPass systems regarding interoperability. There is plenty of information; the only thing needed is someone with the time to compile it and write an encyclopedic article. (As for O-Pass and LeeWay, they may not be notable enough for their own articles, but at the very least ought to link to the roads/transit authorities that control them, as they are independent entities.)--Kitch (Talk : Contrib) 18:54, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

SunPass vs. E-Pass

[edit]

The original E-Pass bumper-mounted transponders were different that the current editions, which are the same as SunPass transponders--the logo is different for branding purposes and the information each agency collects is a little different.

E-Pass has about 500,000 customers. SunPass now has 2.7 million customers in use on the 460 miles of Turnpike owned roads, as well as the MDX system in Miami, the Leroy Selmon in Tampa, the Pinellas Bayway, Alligator Alley, Sunshine Skyway, the Garcon Point and Mid-Bay bridges.

Going back to the early '90s, the plan was always for all the toll agencies to go to SunPass when the Turnpike was ready to deploy statewide, but OOCEA had an urgent need for immediate relief. When SunPass deployment was ready, OOCEA was always to change to SunPass. Turnpike PIO 16:54, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]


P.S. If somebody wants the history of the whole electronic thing in Florida, I can try to dig it up and email it along to one of you??? Up next is our $5-10 sticker tag, which will begin probably as late as next fall. It will be significant because it will be a dual reader system that recognizes old SunPass/E-Pass, as well as the new tag. See the TxTag for info, as it will be very similar.--Turnpike PIO 17:08, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Non-Revenue Cards

[edit]

"A non-revenue SunPass transponder is used for governmental agenices such as police departments, fire departments, etc. to allow those vehicles to pass through the SunPass lanes without stopping at the tollbooth."

As a Florida police officer, this information is incorrect. Emergency vehicles and other vehicles that are exempt from tolls do not get SunPass transponders, they get non-revenue cards that are either handed to toll attendants or swiped by the driver at lanes where there is no attendant. If you've ever wondered why there are card swipers at toll stations that do not have attendants, this is the reason.

Fair use rationale for Image:SunPassLogo.jpg

[edit]

Image:SunPassLogo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Usage of SunPass Mini on EPass roads

[edit]

As an FYI the SunPass Mini does work on EPass toll roads just not in exit tolls that bear EPASS ONLY signage, for example if your on 417 and exit at the Orange Blossom Trail ramp if you stay to the left where it says Exact Change you can use your SunPass in that lane but NOT in the right lane where it states the EPass Only sign, I use 417 all the time and when I use the OBT off ramp using my SunPass Mini the light always turns green and says TOLL PAID.

Toll Booth

[edit]

SunPass-only toll lanes on most toll roads in Florida allow a vehicle to proceed through the tollbooth at speeds of up to 25 mph (40 km/h) as a safety precaution.

^---- I think this information is dated. There are no more toll booths, AFAIK. Valgrus Thunderaxe (talk) 03:30, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is still existing toll booths on I-275, I-75 for Alligator Alley, Pinellas Bypass, and perhaps a lot of other examples I can find. Regardless, it can seem to be outdated and perhaps the language of the sentence can be updated. – The Grid (talk) 06:11, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
