Florida Gov. Rick Scott ordered the suspension of all tolls across the state ahead of Hurricane Irma.
Scott told the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to make the move, which would allow people in the state to move more freely across Florida—or out of the state—ahead of Irma, a Category 5 hurricane expected to hit Florida in the coming days.
Scott released a statement on the matter.
“In preparation for the potential impacts of Hurricane Irma, I have directed the Florida Department of Transportation to suspend all tolls across the State of Florida to keep traffic flowing. They will be suspended for the duration of the storm’s impacts to Florida,” the statement reads.
