The following example is for illustrative purposes only:

(g) Application of maximum toll levels. The toll levels determined in accordance with this section represent the maximum toll levels which the concessionaire shall be authorized to charge. Subject to the notice provisions of 135 IAC 2.5-3-1, the concessionaire shall be authorized to charge toll levels which are less than the applicable maximum toll levels at its discretion, including providing for lower toll levels at determined times during the day, or for commuters, trucking companies, or other frequent users of the toll road. In addition, anytime after June 30, 2010, so long as (A) the aggregate charge for a through trip does not exceed the applicable maximum level; (B) the charge for any non-through trip is not less than the maximum toll levels set forth herein as of June 29, 2010; and (C) any increase in the toll level charged by the concessionaire on the toll road is allocated to all segments of the toll road such that the highest per mile increase does not exceed three (3) times the lowest per mile increase; the concessionaire at its discretion shall be permitted to set the maximum toll level for any segment of the toll road to any level it determines. For purposes of determining different toll levels for the various segments of the toll road anytime after June 30, 2010, the following shall apply:

(1) Notwithstanding the toll levels determined in accordance with this section, the actual tolls charged by the concessionaire will be rounded to:

(A) the nearest $0.01 if the toll is collected using an electronic tolling system; and

(B) the nearest $0.10 in the event that such toll is not collected using an electronic tolling system.

(2) The maximum toll for any journey will be calculated as the sum of the tolls for each segment of the toll road included in the journey, subject to the following:

(A) Tolls at Westpoint (MP 1) and at ramp plazas to and from the east at Calumet Avenue (MP 5) and Cline Avenue (MP 10) will be computed assuming the trips were to/from Portage (MP 24).

(B) Tolls at ramp plazas to and from the west at I-65 Gary East (MP 17), I-94/Lake Station (MP 21) and Willow Creek (MP 23) will be computed assuming the trips were to/from Buchanan Street (MP 13).

(h) The table below presents the mileage that shall be used when determining maximum (or minimum) toll levels for any segment of the toll road, provided that if the location of any of the toll plazas is changed or a new toll plaza is added, then the segment lengths shall be adjusted to reflect such change in a manner consistent with the methodology used in preparation of the table below:

(i) Tolls as only imposable charges as of closing date. The only charges that the concessionaire may impose on toll road users are the tolls authorized pursuant to this section and 135 IAC 2.5-5-1.
