Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding in Article 15 of Chapter 1 of Title 33.1 a section numbered 33.1-223.2:9 as follows:

§ 33.1-223.2:9. Tolls may vary to encourage travel during off-peak hours.

In order to provide an incentive for motorists to travel at off-peak hours, wherever a toll is imposed and collected for the use of any highway [ controlled by the Department ] , the amount of such toll may vary according to the time of day, day of the week, traffic volume, or any or all of these variables. [ The amount of such toll and the time of day when such toll shall change shall be as fixed and revised by the Commonwealth Transportation Board; provided, however, that any such variation shall be reasonably calculated to minimize the impact on toll revenue generated by such toll. ]
