How Toll Fees Are Calculated
Toll fees are typically calculated based on:
- Vehicle type and class
- Distance traveled
- Time of day (peak vs. off-peak hours)
- Toll road type
- Payment method (cash, ETC, etc.)
Formula Used
Toll Cost = (Distance × Rate per Mile) + (Vehicle Class Multiplier × Base Rate)
Where:
- Distance = Trip distance in miles
- Rate per Mile = Toll rate per mile for the specific toll road
- Vehicle Class Multiplier = Factor based on vehicle type (1.0 for cars, higher for trucks/RVs)
- Base Rate = Minimum toll fee for the trip
