- A. The Chairman and members of the Authority shall comply with the provisions established in Transportation Article, §4-312, Annotated Code of Maryland.
- B. The Authority may, in accordance with §A of this regulation, establish a toll rate range with respect to the dynamic pricing mileage rate for any variably priced toll facility with dynamic pricing. A toll rate range established by the Authority in accordance with §A of this regulation may distinguish among classes of users and may be automatically adjusted from time to time according to an index, escalation factor identified by the Authority, or any combination, at the time such toll rate range is established.
- C. The Executive Director may set or adjust the soft rate cap, operational metrics, or toll zones consistent with the toll rate range established by the Authority in accordance with §A of this regulation. The Authority shall post notice of such action by the Executive Director on the Authority’s official website at least 10 days prior to the effective date.
- D. The Authority or a toll facility operator may utilize a tolling algorithm to set a dynamic pricing mileage rate in real time or in established time increments. If a soft rate cap is established, the dynamic pricing mileage rate shall be at or below the soft rate cap when operational metrics are being met. If operational metrics are not being met, the dynamic pricing mileage rate may exceed the soft rate cap but shall still remain at or below the maximum rate allowed by the toll rate range.
