(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. pwalker on PROD1PC71 with PROPOSALS § 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 VerDate Aug<31>2005 20:53 Sep 19, 2007 Jkt 211001 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.
