Orange County Expressway Authority Toll Increase

So I have been keeping an eye on the upcoming toll increase that is set to happen on April 5, 2009 for almost every toll booth in Orange County. Being an Orange County resident on the east side of Orlando I rely highly on the toll roads to get back and forth to where I am going. This increase will cost me a good amount of money here is a basic breakdown of my increase:

Daily: $1.50
Weekly: $7.50
Monthly: $30
Yearly: $360

Now to some of you this may seem like a small increase but for a couple it can add up. This is just my standard weekly driving for work, now if I were to add in most of the other driving that gets done on toll roads I am sure that it would be quite a bit higher.

What I would like to see is everyone stay off the toll roads on April 5th and "stick it to the man" so to say.

If you would like to join us in doing so please join the facebook group Boycott the Toll Hike.
