The purpose of Florida's Turnpike Enterprise is to help meet the state's growing transportation needs and stimulate economic development through investment in Florida's infrastructure. The Turnpike System strives to achieve this goal by delivering capital projects related to safety, capacity, access, preservation, and expansion.

The program engages in a number of activities to support turnpike operations, including planning, constructing, maintaining, repairing, and operating the turnpike system. Activities also include acquiring right-of-way needed to expand the turnpike system and resources necessary to support program services. The turnpike enterprise provides toll operations for the turnpike system and operates ten department-owned facilities and two non-department toll bridges. The turnpike enterprise also is responsible for implementing the SunPass electronic toll collection system.

Florida's Turnpike is a 511-mile system of limited-access toll highways. The turnpike system is composed of the following toll highways.

• Turnpike Mainline, extends from Interstate 75 in Sumter County south to Miami-Dade County and includes the Beachline West Expressway (320 miles)
• Veterans Expressway/Suncoast Parkway in Hernando, Hillsborough, Pasco, and Citrus counties (70 miles)
• Seminole Expressway/ Southern Connector Extension of the Central Florida Green Way in Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties (24 miles)
• Beachline East Expressway in Orange and Brevard Counties (22 miles)
• Polk Parkway in Polk County (25 miles)
• Sawgrass Expressway in Broward County (23 miles)
• Daniel Webster Western Beltway, Part C in Orange and Osceola counties (11 miles)
• I-4 Connector, a series of ramps that connect Interstate 4 with the Selmon Expressway west of 31st Street in Tampa (1 mile)
• First Coast Expressway in Clay and Duval counties (15 miles)

Florida's Turnpike Enterprise, established in 2002, is administered by an executive director who serves at the pleasure of the Secretary of the Department of Transportation.

Proposed Turnpike Projects. The 2023 Legislature enacted Ch. 2023-197, Laws of Florida, which authorizes DOT to request legislative approval of a proposed turnpike project regardless of how complete the project’s design phase is. Previously, DOT could not request legislative approval of a proposed turnpike project until the design phase of that project is at least 30% complete. There is not a similar statutory requirement for non-turnpike projects.
