Terms and Conditions of the Broad Causeway Toll Pass Plan

  • In order to avail oneself of the Pass Plan program and be exempted from tolls on the Broad Causeway/SR922, you must have an established, active SunPass account in your name and a working SunPass transponder mounted in your vehicle.
  • Your SunPass account must reflect a positive balance history for the previous 90-days and this positive balance must be maintained without interruption.
  • Newly established accounts with insufficient history or previously negative accounts or those with low balances not enrolled in auto replenishment may not be approved.
  • If at any time during enrollment you allow your SunPass account to go negative, your SunPass account AND Pass Plan will be terminated until such time as all outstanding tolls are paid.
  • Prior to applying, you must have paid any tolls previously incurred by any means and attest to the fact that you owe no money to the Town of Bay Harbor Islands, SunPass, FDOT on any toll agency. If you have defaulted on a toll bill in the past, you are not eligible to participate in the Broad Causeway Toll Pass Plan Program.

  • Each Pass Plan covers one (1) transponder for use in one (1) vehicle for the number of days purchased.
  • The transponder is your sole means of access to zero-cost tolls. If the exempt Transponder is not read by the receiver in the electronic toll collection lane for any reason you are 100% responsible for that toll charge.

  • License plate charges are not covered by the Pass Plan. Tolls attributed to your license plate, VTOL charges and ITOL charges will be billed at the standard rate, for which you will be liable. Accounts found to have a history of ITOL/VTOL charges will be flagged and may not be approved.
  • No refunds for plate charges may be sought and none will be considered, regardless of the reason.
