Central Florida Expressway Authority
highway authority in Florida
The Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) is a highway authority responsible for construction, maintenance and operation of toll roads in five counties in the Greater Orlando area (specifically Lake, Orange, Osceola, Polk, Seminole, and Brevard Counties). As of May 2025, the agency operates all or part of 10 toll roads in the area, totaling 125 miles (201 km).
The authority was created in 2014 as the legal successor of the Orlando–Orange County Expressway Authority (OOCEA), which only had authority in Orange County, and it was merged with the Osceola County Expressway Authority in 2018. CFX is not the only operator in the region; other toll roads are built directly by the state government through Florida's Turnpike Enterprise.
CFX operates an electronic toll collection system known as E-PASS, one of the first systems of its kind in the United States, whose transponders are free and fully interoperable with SunPass, Peach Pass, and NC QuickPass. Since 2018, CFX also accepts E-ZPass transponders and offers its own E-ZPass-compatible transponder, Uni, for an additional charge.
Jurisdiction
CFX officially defines its system as eight toll roads in the Central Florida area, with an additional road currently under construction. Tolls on any system roads are used to fund construction and maintenance projects throughout the entire system.
On some roads, CFX only has jurisdiction on certain segments; the rest of the road is controlled by Florida's Turnpike Enterprise (if tolled) or the Florida Department of Transportation (if non-tolled). The table below concerns only the CFX-controlled portions of the roads.

Why this record matters
“Central Florida Expressway Authority” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Central, Florida and Expressway provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7103221. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2025, 2014 and 2018.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
