For the town of Bay Harbor Islands, TransCore will convert a bi-directional cash toll plaza to open road tolling using its Infinity modular blade-based digital lane system. The project also includes TransCore’s customer account management system (CAMS) for local management of annual pass plans.

The Rickenbacker and Venetian Causeway toll plazas in Miami-Dade County will be converted to all electronic tolling. The Venetian Causeway toll plaza has six lanes and processes two-way traffic and the installation will include four lanes of bi-directional dedicated AVI. The Rickenbacker Causeway processes traffic through eight lanes and will be converted to four lanes of all electronic tolling.
