Transportation Florida 3 Minutes Read ยท published February 21, 2026 Flag of Florida

Pembroke Pines, Florida residents and visitors use statewide electronic toll systems for bridges and tunnels in and near the city. Local government does not operate tolled bridges or tunnels inside Pembroke Pines; tolling, account management, violations and payment systems are run by Florida toll authorities and SunPass providers. This guide explains who enforces tolls, how to pay or dispute charges, and how Pembroke Pines residents should report related local problems.

Electronic tolls around Pembroke Pines are administered by state toll authorities, not the city.

How electronic tolling works near Pembroke Pines

Most tolled facilities serving Pembroke Pines use transponder-based or image-based tolling. Drivers can pay with a SunPass account or by toll-by-plate invoices sent to the vehicle owner. For account setup, payment, and general toll policies consult the statewide toll operator and SunPass customer pages SunPass[1] and the Florida Turnpike Enterprise site Florida Turnpike Enterprise[2]. The City of Pembroke Pines municipal code does not establish or operate toll collection for bridges or tunnels inside the city limits; local code reference is available through the city code publisher Pembroke Pines Code of Ordinances[3].
