TransCore provides integration and radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for the deployment of high occupancy tolling or HOT lanes on I-95 in Miami-Dade County, Florida’s first variably priced toll facility. The project known as “95 Express” received $62.9 million in funding from the U. S. Department of Transportation as part of the Urban Partnership Agreement to fight grid lock. I-95 between Miami and Fort Lauderdale is one of the most heavily traveled highways in the nation. South of the Golden Glades Interchange, I-95 carries over 290,000 vehicles per day, with traffic volumes expected to exceed 360,000 vehicles per day by year 2030. It was cost prohibitive to widen the corridor, so congestion management strategies were explored to increase capacity on the existing infrastructure.
