ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority is being folded into a new regional operation.

Gov. Rick Scott signed a bill (SB 230) Friday, creating the new Central Florida Expressway Authority, or CFX. Effective immediately, operations of the Orlando-Orange authority, including all E-PASS toll management, will be incorporated into the larger authority to include Lake, Osceola and Seminole counties. It will be responsible for planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of a 109-mile expressway system serving the four-county jurisdiction.
