DISCLOSURE OF CERTAIN INFORMATION RELATING TO USE OF TOLL FACILITIES; INJUNCTIVE
RELIEF; ATTORNEY FEES (§ 33.2-614)

A. Neither the Department nor any other operator of any toll bridge, toll road,
or other toll facility nor any employee or contractor with the Department or
other toll facility operator shall disclose any information derived from an
automated electronic toll collection system about the time, date, or frequency
of use or nonuse of any such facility by any individually identified motor
vehicle except when ordered to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction. The
provisions of this section shall not apply to information supplied (i) to any
person who is a participant in the electronic toll collection system, when such
information is limited to vehicles owned or leased by such person; (ii) to the
issuer of any credit card or debit card or other third party vendor when such
information is necessary for collecting the toll and ensuring the accuracy of
such billing by the operator; (iii) for statistical or research purposes, when
such information contains no data attributable to individual vehicles or
individual participants; or (iv) to federal, state, and local law enforcement,
when such information is required in the course of an investigation where time
is of the essence in preserving and protecting human life or public safety.

B. Any aggrieved person may institute a proceeding for injunction or mandamus
against any person, governmental agency, or other entity that has engaged, is
engaged, or is about to engage in any acts or practices in violation of the
provisions of this section. The proceeding shall be brought in the circuit court
of any county or city wherein the person, governmental agency, or other entity
made defendant resides or has a place of business. In the case of any successful
proceeding by an aggrieved party, the person, governmental agency, or other
entity enjoined or made subject to a writ of mandamus by the court shall be
liable for the costs of the action together with reasonable attorney fees as
determined by the court.
