Nearly 150,000 drivers that have been breezing through toll plazas without a SunPass will have to start paying their bills.
The first of three months of bills, covering October through December 2013, were supposed to be mailed Tuesday, said Miami-Dade Expressway Authority spokesman Mario Diaz.
MDX says drivers collectively owe $3 million, an average of $20 per person, just from October through December of last year. MDX has not publicly released how much the largest bills total. Another three months of bills will be sent at some point in the future.
The bills have been delayed because MDX has had trouble transitioning from its original toll-by-plate system, which is currently the subject of a lawsuit.
Earlier this month, Team 6 Investigators revealed MDX had been unable to send the bills.
MDX says drivers who convert to SunPass will receive a discount on their bills, Diaz said.
