AutoExpreso

AutoExpreso (English: AutoExpress) is an electronic toll collection system used on most tollways in Puerto Rico.[1] The system uses passive transponders (similar to SunPass Mini in Florida) where payment status is indicated by a light at the toll plazas. AutoExpreso transponders can be replenished at all Puma and select Total stations in Puerto Rico or at designated replenishment lanes at select toll plazas.[2]

In 2012, AutoExpreso became the exclusive form of payment on most of Puerto Rico's tollways, with cash no longer being accepted. However, cash is still accepted on PR-5 and PR-22 due to the privatization of those tollways.

AutoExpreso is not interoperable with other electronic toll collection systems outside Puerto Rico (such as E-ZPass in the northeastern United States or SunPass in Florida).
