Miami-Dade Expressway Authority mailed more than 60,000 checks as part of the Frequent Drivers Rewards Program totaling $4.8 million this year. Within a week two thirds of the checks have been cashed, just in time for the holiday season.
Among those that received their check at the December MDX Board meeting was Frank Crawley of Cool Breeze Air Conditioning, a local business owner with a fleet of 87 vehicles driven by sales and service employees. “This is an important program for us as a local business because it reduces our costs,” said Crowley. “We appreciate MDX creating this program locally to provide savings to the business community that drive their expressways.”
Also attending the board meeting to receive his check was Eladio Crespo, an Uber driver, and William Daniel Caicedo, a daily commuter, both members of the program.
The MDX Governing Board established the Frequent Drivers Rewards Program to reduce tolls paid by daily commuters, and small local businesses on the MDX system. Only tolls paid on the MDX local expressways are eligible for refund. Those include the 836/Dolphin Expressway, 112/Airport Expressway, 874/Don Shula Expressway, 878/Snapper Creek Expressway and 924/Gratigny Parkway. The state-owned Turnpike, I-95 and Palmetto tolls are not eligible for reimbursement.
Open enrollment for new member registration will open on January 18, 2022. Existing customers will also be able to log in to their Frequent Drivers Rewards account, change address, add transponders or check for eligibility for this year.
