Assembly Member Petrie-Norris's transportation legislation refines how California toll facilities share vehicle data when participating in interstate electronic toll collection programs, limiting operators to transmit only information essential for cross-state interoperability.

The measure modifies existing requirements for automatic vehicle identification systems on toll facilities while preserving core operational standards. These standards mandate that drivers maintain normal highway speeds through toll points, require only one transponder device per vehicle across all facilities, and ensure toll operators can select equipment from multiple vendors. For interim systems installed before 1994, operators must transition to fully compliant systems within five years of opening to public use.

Under the updated provisions, toll facility operators on federal-aid highways may implement technologies supporting interstate toll collection compatibility as outlined in the federal Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act. The bill maintains current privacy protections, requiring operators to comply with both federal and state data protection laws, including California Streets and Highways Code Section 31490, while participating in interstate toll collection programs.
