HB 2207 Toll facilities; all new to have capability to be fully automated electronic operation.
Introduced by: Leo C. Wardrup, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Toll facility technologies. Requires that, beginning July 1, 2008, every agency of the Commonwealth or any of its political subdivisions or instrumentalities that have control of or day-to-day responsibility for the operation of any toll facility take all necessary actions to ensure that every newly constructed toll facility or toll lane under its control is capable of fully automated electronic operation, employing technologies and procedures that permit the collection of tolls from users of the facility without requiring vehicles using the facility to reduce their speed below the speed of traffic approaching the facility. An entity operating a toll facility that substantially upgrades its equipment or substantially renovates its facility after July 1, 2008, must comply with the provisions of this bill. The provisions of this bill also apply to any non-governmental or quasi-governmental entities operating a toll facility under a comprehensive agreement entered into, pursuant to the Public-Private Transportation Act of 1995, on or after January 1, 2008. The bill also requires that the Virginia Department of Transportation, on or before January 1, 2008, submit a written report to the General Assembly on its plans to create opportunities to enhance mobility and free-flowing traffic on Department-controlled toll facilities by embracing technological advances.
