12/30/2022, 5:32 PM

Summary of Bill HR 3715

Bill 117 HR 3715, also known as the Protection Against Double Tolling Act, aims to address the issue of double tolling on highways and bridges in the United States. Double tolling occurs when a driver is charged multiple times for using the same stretch of road or bridge within a short period of time.

The bill seeks to prohibit double tolling by requiring tolling authorities to implement systems that prevent drivers from being charged more than once for the same trip. This would help to ensure that drivers are not unfairly burdened with excessive toll fees.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for transparency and accountability in tolling practices, requiring tolling authorities to clearly communicate toll rates and policies to drivers. This would help to prevent confusion and ensure that drivers are aware of the costs associated with using toll roads and bridges. Overall, the Protection Against Double Tolling Act aims to protect drivers from being unfairly charged multiple times for the same trip and to promote fairness and transparency in tolling practices.
