ACQUISITION OR ESTABLISHMENT OF FERRIES (§ 33.2-600)

The Board may acquire by purchase, condemnation, or gift any ferry within the
Commonwealth that forms a connecting link in a state highway and may purchase
all equipment and other things necessary for the establishment of new ferries to
become connecting links in the primary or secondary state highway system,
whenever it shall determine such action to be advisable and expedient. The Board
may expend from state highway construction funds of the highway construction
district where the ferries are located and are under the Board&#8217;s control
at any time such sums as may be necessary to acquire or establish, maintain, and
operate any such ferry.
		The Board may operate such ferry either as a free or toll ferry and may
establish a toll for the use of such ferry at such rates as are deemed by the
Board to be reasonable and proper without regulation by any other governmental
body.
