The Commission’s toll-violation fee structure mirrors what is charged by other toll-industry agencies nationally and regionally.  The Commission’s fees are intended to help cover the costs of the toll-violation collection process so that the cost burden does not get shifted onto law-abiding toll payers.

Violators under the DRJTBC’s toll-enforcement system are required to pay the toll.  Toll evasion is a public, strict liability and vicarious liability violation.  The following are not legal defenses or mitigating factors:

  • The violation notice wasn’t mailed sooner;
  • The driver did not intend to miss the payment or go through an E-ZPass lane;
  • Someone else was driving the vehicle.

Information on a registered vehicle owner who fails to respond to mailed requests for payment will be forwarded to a collection agency. Under state laws, registered vehicle owners are responsible for any toll violations regardless of who was driving at the time.
