MDX - The Miami-Dade Expressway Authority

About MDX

Our relationship with the automobile has a distinct purpose; we drive to work, we drive to the store to visit with friends and family. No matter what our destination is, the focus is getting to where we need to go - safely and without delay.

The Miami-Dade Expressway Authority is the driving force behind saving our customers valuable time on the road. We help keep more than 700,000 cars moving safely each day and efficiently as possible.

MDX was created in 1994 by the State of Florida and the Board of County Commissioners of Miami-Dade County to serve as an innovative transportation agency dedicated to the enhancement of mobility in Miami-Dade County.

MDX Vision Statement

Solely financed by tolls, MDX receives virtually no state or federal funds; no sales tax, gas tax or property tax. We reinvest the toll dollars collected for the construction, operation and maintenance of five of the most critical expressways in Miami-Dade County:

• State Road 112 (Airport Expressway),
• State Road 836 (Dolphin Expressway),
• State Road 874 (Don Shula Expressway),
• State Road 878 (Snapper Creek Expressway) and
• State Road 924 (Gratigny Parkway).

MDX's 2008-2012 Strategic Plan focuses on four main objectives: Leadership, Relationships with Stakeholders, Operational Excellence and Stewardship of Resources. MDX is committed to using the resources available - User fees and the five expressways we manage - and work with our partners to find solutions that address congestion and provide mobility. We pledge to work together with the community to develop initiatives that will benefit Miami-Dade for generations to come.

A Five-Year Work Program (FY 2009-2013) is developed to manage its program of system improvements, enhancements and rehabilitation. It identifies projects that MDX anticipates funding during the next five years, from project inception through construction. The Five-Year Work Program is an evolving document that reflects and prioritizes the needs of MDX. Changes are made on an annual basis as priorities are re-evaluated, projects are completed, new projects are identified and financial realities are defined.
