The 4503 Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has awarded 4186 Xerox a seven-year contract for the implementation of a state-of-the-art customer service system for processing toll transactions across the state. The deal involves processing more than one billion transactions per year and managing over five million accounts.

Xerox will consolidate multiple tollway operations into one efficient back-office system, which it says will reduce costs, drive operational efficiencies and provide a better customer experience, along with transaction processing, registration identification, system reporting, invoicing, collections, transponder management and customer account management and support.

“The current structure of Florida’s tolling agencies and operations requires a lot of back-and-forth among tollway operations to ensure Floridians and visitors are billed properly and disputes are addressed in a timely manner,” said Rich Bastan, group president, Government and Transportation Sector, Xerox. “We will work closely with the Florida DOT and the partner agencies to roll out a low-risk, next-generation tolling system that will seamlessly simplify procedures.”

The new tolling operations will not change existing customer contact or payment information for Florida SunPass users, as partner agencies will operate through one consolidated centre located in Florida to make contacting customer support and resolving questions easier.

Consumer demand may soon drive the biggest step change yet in tolling. In the United States a new start-up company, Geotoll, has launched a smartphone app for electronic toll payment. It is not beyond possibility that rapid growth of the market for smartphones will continue – an estimated 50% of US citizens and 80% of Europeans now have one – and that the Geotoll brand

    Oregon tests new mileage-base charging scheme
    Jack Opiola from D’Artagnan Consulting LLP explains Oregon’s latest moves which mandated a trial of mileage-based road use charging. In 1919, Oregon made the 20th century’s most significant contribution to transportation funding policy, becoming the first state in America to implement a gas tax to pay for roads. This summer Oregon’s Legislature passed, and Governor John Kitzhaber signed into law, Senate Bill 810 which requires a distance-based road usage charge for 5,000 volunteer vehicles by 1 July 2015. T

    Rapid growth makes Texas an incubator for tolling innovation
    As the IBTTA’s annual meeting and exhibition heads for Austin, Mitchell Beer, president of Smarter Shift, considers the role of Texas in the development of tolling strategies and technology. The State of Texas has always prided itself on being ‘larger than life’. From the sprawling geography of the state itself with its wide open skies, to its entrepreneurial ‘get-it-done’ attitude, Texas exudes an impatient restlessness that pushes businesses and public agencies to deliver faster, better results.
