Car transport drivers traveling north on SR 874 that pass through the exisiting toll plaza will still have to pay the current toll rate (SunPass), if they need to travel the entire distance north to the Palmetto Expressway or east to U.S. 1. Car hauling professionals that plan on exiting on Killian Parkway or Kendall Drive, though, will now pay a reduced fare, due to the benefits of Open Road Tolling along this route, according to sources. Apparently, Open Road Tolling has resulted in a redistribution of tolls throughout the entire length of the roadway, and the designers of this idea are so happy that they plan on implementing more Open Road Tolling on other roads in Miami in the days ahead in the future of the environment.
Today, Saturday July 17, 2010, Open Road Tolling will start on the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority's (MDX) SR 874/Don Shula Expressway and SR 878/Snapper Creek Expressway in Florida. Overhead gantries will now automatically collect a toll based on the distance car movers travel, which eliminates the need for car transporters to use toll plazas, and simplifies the process of paying tolls. This idea appears o be catching on in Miami as plans for the future include implementing Open Road Tolling on the five expressways operated and maintained by MDX by the time we reach 2013. This means that overhead gantries will soon be replacing traditional toll plazas and tolls will be automatically calculated based on the portion of the road traveled. According to the implementers of Open Road Tolling this idea might even reduce traffic congestion, make the roadways safer, and reduce the total carbon wheel-print of the vehicles traveling along the expressways in question. In addition to only making users pay for the distance they travel along the expressways and helping to fund the infrastructure investment needed to keep the expressways in operation in the years ahead in the century of the environment in the United States of America.

Car Transporters Will Interact More With CSA 2010
Car transport drivers operating on the highways and roads of the United States in 2010 can probably expect to be talking to an official from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) more often, once CSA 2010 is in full operation across America. A recently conducted 30-month field test by the FMCSA and its state partners was designed to measure the efficiency and effectiveness of the new safety management system (SMS) and the systems that have been put in place in CSA 2010 to fix any safety problems that might exist on auto transport vehicles operating on the roads of America. The field tests also showed according to sources that car movers in the United States might be sitting on the side of the highway talking to an official from the FMCSA, once CSA 2010 is fully implemented. The field tests were at first conducted in Colorado, Georgia, Missouri and New Jersey, but in the fall of 2009 they started field tests in Delaware, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota and Montana, as well.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's new safety management system is an initiative designed to improve car hauling safety on the roads and highways of the United States and hopefully reduce the total number of motor vehicle related accidents, injuries and fatalities associated with the work of the car transporters of America. This initiative will replace the current SafeSat compliance review system in place in the United States, later this year, once they get CSA 2010 in operation.
Just how did they conduct this road test of the new safety management system that's included with CSA 2010? Apparently, the FMCSA and its state partners applied the new SMS and CSA 2010 interventions to all of the motor carriers they talked to in the states in which they conducted the field tests, in order to try to figure out any operational issues automobile transport professionals might experience during the implementation of CSA 2010 in the states in question, before they decide to roll CSA 2010 out onto the roads of the United States in the months ahead.
