Operators of toll facilities: interoperability programs: vehicle information.

Assembly Member Petrie-Norris proposes new limitations on the vehicle data that California toll facility operators can share through interstate electronic toll collection systems. The legislation restricts operators to sharing only license plate data, transponder information, and transaction records specifically designated as required fields in the National Interoperability Interface Control Document Version 2.0.

The bill establishes enforcement mechanisms for unauthorized data sharing, including a minimum $2,500 penalty per violation if operators transmit information beyond the permitted categories to out-of-state toll agencies or interoperability hubs. Transportation agencies participating in interstate toll collection must publish the required data types on their websites. These provisions remain in effect until January 1, 2035, when they will be replaced by updated specifications for automatic vehicle identification systems.

The measure maintains existing requirements that toll facility systems allow drivers to maintain highway speeds, use a single device across facilities, and provide operators choice among multiple equipment vendors. After 2035, the Department of Transportation will continue collaborating with toll authorities to develop technical standards ensuring these operational capabilities while accommodating various vehicle types.
