The Florida Disabled Toll Permit Program


The Florida Disabled Toll Permit Program was created in 1988 because some disabled drivers expressed concern with their inability to toss coins into the toll baskets on Florida's toll roads. The legislature passed this legislation with the intent to eliminate these barriers for disabled drivers. Since this legislation passed, approximately 4000 disabled drivers have been issued permits.

The Florida Disabled Toll Permit is issued when the following conditions, as specified in s. 338.155, Florida Statutes, are met:

1. The individual certifies that he/she meets the intent of the legislation, i.e., has severe and permanent upper limb mobility or dexterity impairments that substantially impairs him/her from tossing coins into the baskets; has a valid driver's license; and drives a specially equipped vehicle; and is therefore qualified for such a permit.

2. The applicant provides a signed statement from the applicant's physician that he/she meets the physical disability eligibility requirements, i.e., that he/she does have a severe and permanent upper limb mobility or dexterity impairment that substantially impairs him/her from tossing coins into the basket.

3. Verification is received from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, or the equivalent department in another state, that the applicant does have a valid driver's license.

4. Verification is received from the Florida Department of Health that the applicant's certifying physician is a licensed physician.

Our Mission

Since its founding more than 80 years ago, the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) has been dedicated to a single purpose: building better lives for America's disabled veterans and their families. Fidelity to that mission has required DAV to respond creatively and flexibly to changing and sometimes unpredictable challenges faced by its constituency. Whether disabled veterans have needed a voice on Capitol Hill, a nationwide service program, a transportation network or unique rehabilitation opportunities, DAV has focused its attention and resources to meet those needs.
