                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

REVENUES (§ 33.2-1718)

The Board shall fix and revise as may be necessary tolls for the use of each
project for which bonds are issued or proposed to be issued under the provisions
of this chapter and shall charge and collect the same and may contract with any
person, partnership, association, or corporation desiring the use of such
project, approaches, and appurtenances, and any part thereof, for placing
thereon water, gas, or oil pipelines or telephone, telegraph, electric light, or
power lines, or for any other purpose, and may fix the terms, conditions, and
rates and charges for such use. Such tolls shall be so fixed and adjusted, in
respect of the aggregate of tolls from the project on account of which a single
issue of bonds is issued under this chapter, as to provide a fund sufficient
with other revenues of such project, if any, to pay (i) the cost of maintaining,
repairing, and operating such project unless such cost shall be otherwise
provided for and (ii) such bonds and the interest thereon as the same shall
become due. Such tolls shall not be subject to supervision or regulation by any
other state commission, board, bureau, or agency. Except for those persons
exempted by § 33.2-613, it shall be unlawful for the Department or any
Department employee to give or permit free passage over any project set forth in
the definition of &#8220;project&#8221; in § 33.2-1700 that has been secured
through the issuance of revenue bonds and which bonds are payable from the
revenues of such project. Every vehicle and person shall pay the same toll as
others similarly situated. Except as provided in § 33.2-613, the provisions in
this section shall apply with full force and effect to vehicles and employees of
the state government and governments of counties, cities, and towns or other
political subdivisions and to vehicles and persons of all other categories and
descriptions, public, private, eleemosynary, or otherwise.
