However, one group plans to hit the road to protest the 25 cent increase at toll booths all over Central Florida.

Former Expressway Authority consultant Doug Guetzloe headed a boycott at two busy Orange County on-ramps Monday morning. His group is disgusted about a 25 cent toll hike at close to all area toll booths.

Toll road drivers heading out the door for their commutes may have to drop an extra quarter at the toll booth to get through. Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority raised tolls at 75 percent of its ramps and plazas by one quarter.

Not everyone is happy about it. "It's terrible. It's terrible. We use it every time, a quarter for us is like $4.00 extra," said one upset toll road customer.

Gueztlow, a controversial Expressway Authority consultant, was once paid to keep opposition to toll increases quiet. Now he is protesting the toll hike.

The group is called "Ax the Tax," and supporters will be urging drivers to choose different routes and avoid the toll roads all together.

The Expressway Authority says the higher tolls are needed to pay for future construction and to protect the Expressway's credit rating.

Protestors planned on setting up at two locations; one at the corner of Bumby Avenue and South Street, and also at Anderson Street at Delaney Avenue.
