Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 182 / Thursday, September 20, 2007 / Proposed Rules
§ 950.5 Requirement to use electronic toll
collection technology.
(a) Any toll agency operating a toll
facility pursuant to authority under a
1604 toll program shall use an
electronic toll collection system as the
method for collecting tolls from vehicle
operators for the use of the facility
unless the toll agency can demonstrate
to the FHWA that some other method is
either more economically efficient or
will make the facility operate more
safely. If a facility is collecting tolls
pursuant to section 1604(b) of
SAFETEA–LU, the toll agency shall
only use electronic toll collection
systems. Nothing in this subsection
shall prevent a toll agency from using
cash payment methods, such as toll
booths, in areas that are not located in
the toll facility’s lanes of travel if the
location and use of such methods do not
create unsafe operating conditions on
the toll facility.
(b) A toll agency using electronic toll
collection technology must develop and
implement reasonable methods to
enable vehicle operators that are not
enrolled in a toll collection program that
is interoperable with the toll collection
system of the relevant toll facility to use
the facility.
(c) A toll agency using electronic toll
collection technology must develop,
implement, and make publicly available
privacy policies to safeguard the
disclosure of any data that may be
collected through such technology
concerning any user of a toll facility
operating pursuant to authority under a
1604 toll program, but is not required to
submit such policies to FHWA for
approval.

§ 950.7
Interoperability requirements.
(a) For any toll facility operating
pursuant to authority under a 1604 toll
program, the toll agency shall—
(1) Identify the projected users of the
facility; and
(2) Identify the predominant toll
collection systems likely utilized by the
users of the facility.
(b) Based on the identification
conducted under subsection (a), the toll
agency shall receive the FHWA’s
concurrence on the proposal for the
facility’s toll collection system’s
standards and design.
(c) In requesting the FHWA’s
concurrence, the toll agency shall
demonstrate to the FHWA that the
selected toll collection system and
technology achieves the highest
reasonable degree of interoperability
possible with other toll facilities. The
toll agency shall also explain to the
FHWA how the toll collection system
takes into account the use of noncash

electronic technology currently
deployed within an appropriate
geographic area of travel (as defined by
the toll agency) and identify the
noncash electronic technology likely to
be in use within the next five years in
that area. The facility’s toll collection
system’s design shall include the
communications requirements between
roadside equipment and toll
transponders, as well as accounting
compatibility requirements in order to
ensure that users of the toll facilities are
properly identified and tolls are charged
to the appropriate account of the user.
(d) A toll agency that operates any toll
facility pursuant to authority under a
1604 toll program must upgrade its toll
collection system to meet any applicable
standards and interoperability tests that
have been officially adopted through
rulemaking by the FHWA.
(e) With respect to facilities that are
tolled pursuant to the Value Pricing
Pilot Program, this part only applies if
tolls are imposed on a facility after the
effective date of this rule. However,
such facility is subject to this part if the
facility’s toll collection system is
changed or upgraded after the effective
date of the regulations in this part.
§ 950.9
Enforcement.
(a) The tolling authority of any facility
operating pursuant to authority under a
1604 toll program shall be suspended in
the event the relevant toll agency is not
in compliance with this part within six
(6) months of receiving a written notice
of non-compliance from FHWA. If the
toll agency demonstrates that it is taking
the necessary steps to come into
compliance within a reasonable period
of time, FHWA shall extend such tolling
authority.
(b) The FHWA may take other action
as may be appropriate, including action
pursuant to § 1.36 of this title.
