Bill > HB1319

This bill mandates that the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) establish and implement an electronic or nonmanual tolling program as the exclusive method for charging and collecting user fees on toll roads. This means that manual toll collection will be phased out. Specifically, for any new toll road projects constructed after June 30, 2026, this electronic system must be in place from the start. For existing toll roads as of July 1, 2026, the electronic tolling program must be fully operational by December 31, 2027. Furthermore, any public-private agreement between the Indiana Finance Authority and an operator that is entered into, renewed, or amended after June 30, 2026, must include a provision requiring the operator to implement this electronic or nonmanual tolling system as the sole method for collecting user fees, with a deadline of two years from the agreement's date for implementation. This change aims to modernize toll collection processes and ensure efficiency.
