Acadia and the Southern Connector


          The Acadia residential community, www.AcadiaSC.com, in Piedmont is located next to the Southern Connector, I-385 in Greenville County, South Carolina. Acadians enjoy a special friendship with our neighbors who manage and operate the Southern Connector Toll Road. Pete Femia, Liz, Don and the whole team at the Connector office have been helpful to Acadia in so many ways, and we wanted to say a big “THANKS!”

          They help volunteer at our special events, support our charity causes like the Dragon Boat Festival for Cancer Research at Greenville Hospital. They return our lost dogs, plow our snow bound streets (well, we did see 2 inches of snow last winter!), and give us preferential treatment on the Connector by letting us travel for free and drive at whatever speed we like. Just kidding about this last part, but they do help us with keeping our Palmetto Pass discount tags up to date. In that regard, here is important information about our new Palmetto Pass. Be sure to visit Liz and get your new Pass.

          The Southern Connector is now issuing the next generation of Palmetto Pass toll transponders. The new transponders or "Sticker Tags" as they are known, are much smaller and thinner than previous transponder models. They perform at a high rate of accuracy and are less obtrusive on windshields. They can be disposed of in an environmentally-friendly manner because they contain no battery. The Southern Connector has also upgraded the hardware necessary to process both the new Sticker Tags and the older, Hard Case transponders. From now until April 1, 2012, swap out your Passes at no cost. After April 1, 2012 you will be required to purchase Sticker Tags at a cost of $5.00 per tag. The Connector office has extended the hours of Customer Service Center until April 6, 2012, from 8:30am until 6:30pm, Monday through Friday.

          Please do not drop off your current Passes to toll collectors. If you cannot visit our Customer Service Center and want to exchange Passes, please mail the old Passes to P.O. Box 408, Piedmont, SC 29673, via certified mail. Questions? Call Liz at 864.527.2143, or by email lizzie@southernconnector.com.
