General Information
Action Summary The Commonwealth Transportation Board is considering amendments to the existing Rules, Regulations and Rates Concerning Toll and Bridge Facilities. This regulation specifies the toll rates for certain VDOT-owned and operated toll facilities. The regulation also delegates authority for the suspension of tolls at those facilities from the Commissioner of Highways to his designee, as authorized by § 33.2-613. The regulation additionally specifies the general conditions and criteria under which the suspension of tolls can occur, as authorized by § 33.2-613. New VDOT-owned and operated toll facilities have opened, or are likely to open in the near future, that are not included in the existing regulation. Further, § 33.2-613 has been amended in recent years, changing the Commissioner of Highways’ authority in the suspension of tolls on toll facilities in the Commonwealth. The amendments to the regulation are anticipated to address the additional toll facilities covered by the regulation and the change in procedures and criteria to be considered for the suspension of tolls. The amendments are not anticipated to amend existing toll rates specified in the regulation.
