The Florida
Disabled Toll Permit Program
The Florida Disabled Toll Permit Program was created in 1988 because
some disabled drivers expressed concern with their inability to toss
coins into the toll baskets on Florida's toll roads. The legislature
passed this legislation with the intent to eliminate these barriers for
disabled drivers. Since this legislation passed, approximately 4000
disabled drivers have been issued permits.
The Florida Disabled Toll Permit is issued when the following
conditions, as specified in s. 338.155, Florida Statutes, are met:
1. The individual
certifies that he/she meets the intent of the legislation, i.e., has
severe and permanent upper limb mobility or dexterity impairments that
substantially impairs him/her from tossing coins into the baskets; has a
valid driver's license; and drives a specially equipped vehicle; and is
therefore qualified for such a permit.
2. The applicant
provides a signed statement from the applicant's physician that he/she
meets the physical disability eligibility requirements, i.e., that
he/she does have a severe and permanent upper limb mobility or dexterity
impairment that substantially impairs him/her from tossing coins into
the basket.
3. Verification is
received from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor
Vehicles, or the equivalent department in another state, that the
applicant does have a valid driver's license.
4. Verification is
received from the Florida Department of Health that the applicant's
certifying physician is a licensed physician.
