Summary
These rule amendments provide for toll collection enforcement on facilities owned or operated by a private or public entity under agreement with the Department. Unnecessary forms and language, redundant to state statutes, have been eliminated. Defined terms have been added for clarity. The rule establishes a minimum express lane toll amount of .50 on non-Turnpike express lanes and at least .25 greater than the general toll on Turnpike express lanes. A maximum toll amount of $1.50 per mile is established for I-95 express lanes between Mile Marker 4 and Mile Marker 12, subject to increase if the maximum is reached more than 45 days in a six month period. A violation charge of $25 per trip is established for use of the express lane facility without a SunPass transponder or pre-paid account.
