MDX is a user-funded transportation agency dedicated to improving the mobility of people, goods and the economy in Miami-Dade County. The not-for-profit agency was created in 1994 by the Miami-Dade County Commission to establish local control of toll revenues collected on the five MDX expressways, and to ensure that the toll revenue collected would be reinvested to improve transportation locally.
