Bill Summary · SB 1463

Legislative bill overview

SB 1463 establishes limits on toll rates and regulates the use of electronic toll collection devices in Virginia. The bill, sponsored by Senator Kannan Srinivasan, passed the Transportation Committee on January 23, 2025, though it was tabled indefinitely rather than advancing further.

Why is this important

Toll regulations directly affect commuters' transportation costs and infrastructure funding mechanisms. Electronic toll collection has become standard on many Virginia highways, making rules governing these systems relevant to millions of drivers using toll roads like the Dulles Toll Road and I-95 Express Lanes.

Potential points of contention

  • Revenue impact on infrastructure: Strict toll caps could limit funding available for road maintenance and expansion projects that depend on toll revenue
  • Equity concerns: Electronic toll collection systems may disadvantage drivers without access to technology or bank accounts needed for account setup
  • Inflation and operational costs: Fixed or limited toll increases may not keep pace with construction and maintenance inflation over time
