Or. Admin. Code § 731-040-0051 - Process for Approving Initial Rates on Tollways on Interstate Bridges
(1) This rule
applies to a proposal to approve initial toll rates on an interstate bridge
that is or will be a state highway under the Department's jurisdiction,
including proposals submitted by the Department, or jointly with the Department
under ORS 381.010 (Columbia River

Approval of tolls on interstate bridges is also subject to the requirements of

Commission.
(3) The Commission will
consider the Department's recommendation, the factors identified in OAR

following:
(a) Whether another state has any
authority over the bridge.
(b)
Whether the proposal has been authorized, or is expected to be authorized, by
the governing body with jurisdiction over the proposal in the other state
linked to Oregon by the bridge.
(c)
Whether the proposal is consistent with any conditions imposed by the governing
body with jurisdiction over the proposal in the other state, if any.
(d) Whether the proposer has legal authority
to implement the project in the other state, and if not, the level of
coordination between the proposer and the entity having such
authority.

Commission will approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove a proposal to
establish initial toll rates. A Commission decision is issued in
writing.
