Rental Cars Won't Need Transponders to Travel Through Sunpass Lanes
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 27 -- Many rental car customers traveling on Florida's toll roads and bridges are now able to utilize 'SunPass Only' lanes to pay their tolls, even without a SunPass transponder, thanks to a pair of innovative programs announced by Turnpike officials this week. Rental car customers in Central Florida also can use the EPass lanes on toll roads operated by the Orlando- Orange County Expressway Authority (OOCEA), and will soon be able to use the LeeWay toll lanes in Lee County. Florida's Turnpike Enterprise has entered into contractual agreements with American Traffic Solutions and Rent A Toll, Ltd. to administer a program which utilizes license plate information to identify rental vehicles and electronically collect the toll. American Traffic Solutions is currently offering its PlatePass(R) cashless toll payment service to rental car customers using vehicles rented from Avis, Budget, and Hertz.

Town considers leasing Old Town Hall Falling shingle prompts emergency ...
A piece of shingle falling off the roof of Old Town Hall could have just been the beginning, said Plant & Facilities Director Joe Piantedosi. A crew has been up on a lift since Jan. 31 repairing the roof in the center of the downtown shopping district, after the shingle fell onto Barnard Street last month. Parking spaces on either side of Old Town Hall have been blocked off for nearly three weeks because of the roof's condition. Not only do roughly 150 cracked or damage shingles need replacing, but workers have learned that the steel snow guards running the length of the historic building have also been in danger of falling. They determined their copper fasteners had failed, curling up and damaging the slate shingles in the process. The repairs are expected to cost about $6,000.
