Bus companies would get clearer rules for using toll roads and HOV lanes.
This bill would clarify that over-the-road buses, including charter buses, would have equal access to toll roads, bridges, tunnels, ferries, and HOV lanes. It would ensure these buses get the same rates as public transportation vehicles in certain pilot programs. This helps bus operators and passengers by making travel more predictable.
Today, the law grants equal access to 'public-serving' over-the-road buses on toll facilities and HOV lanes. However, 'charter service' isn't clearly defined in those sections. If this bill becomes law, it would specifically include buses 'in scheduled or charter service' for equal access and define 'charter service.' It would also require a public database of toll facility access information.
