Port Canaveral, one of the top three busiest cruise ports in the country, is adding E-PASS to all cruise terminal garages.
The Canaveral Port Authority and Central Florida Expressway Authority have agreed to implement the E-PASS automated system at the Port that will enable cruisers to use contactless payment for parking at Port Canaveral-owned parking facilities with an E-PASS prepaid account.
The CPA Board of Commissioners voted to unanimously approve the agreement at its October 28, 2020 regular meeting followed by the unanimous approval by the CFX Board at its November 12, 2020 meeting.
The CFX-CPA interlocal agreement provides the Port with the option to implement the E-PASS automated payment program at all of the Port’s cruise terminal parking garages. Port Canaveral will unveil the electronic system at its new Cruise Terminal 3 garage and has plans to implement the technology at its five other cruise terminal garages.
“The convenience of the E-PASS system aligns with our goal of moving to contactless payment transactions throughout the Port,” said Port CEO Capt. John Murray. “This program takes us one step closer by offering our guests another option while advancing our efforts to improve the Port’s operations with proven technologies that provide greater efficiencies and cost savings.”
