14-100.003	Express Lane Tolling

PURPOSE:

This rule is being amended to clarify provisions, define additional terms, provide for collection of tolls on facilities owned or operated by a public or private entity under agreement with the Department, eliminate unnecessary forms, increase the express lane minimum toll amount, provide an express lane maximum toll for a portion of I-95, address multi-axle vehicle usage of express lanes, and set penalties for express lane toll violators.

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.
