The state of Florida has issued an average of $32 a month in credits to about 1.2 million motorists as part of a year-long program benefiting frequent toll-road users.
The Florida Department of Transportation on Friday said $40.1 million in credits were posted to 1 million accounts in May, pushing the total credits to more than $190 million since the start of the year.
The state estimates 1.2 million motorists have benefited from the program, which lawmakers approved during a special legislative session in December.
