Problem is, Florida's contract with the company that runs SunPass.
Florida is looking to end it's contract With the SunPass management, which has had problems for years.
Their solution is SunPass PLUS, which will run on both systems, throughout the east, but managed by the EZPass people.
You need to get a SunPass Plus transponder. As of 5 months ago, no one in The Villages had them.
In that my experience was 5 months ago, call around (Publix, Walgreens, CVS, AAA) and see if they have them. If not, you need to order from Sunpass.com. It took about 2 weeks for me to get it.
SunPass PLUS is a way to use SunPass to pay for parking, it has nothing to do with highway tolls.

SunPass PRO is the new transponder that works for both SunPass and EZPass tolls. I used my SunPass PRO recently in NY and NJ.

I purchased my SunPass PRO in Publix back in October.
