§ 14-303-401 - Powers of authority.

(a) An authority is authorized to fix, revise, charge, and collect tolls for the use of each tollway project and the different parts or sections thereof; to contract with any person, partnership, association, corporation, or organization desiring the use of any part thereof, including the right-of-way adjoining the paved portion, for placing thereon telephone, telegraph, electric light or power lines, and other facilities, or for any other purpose; and to fix the terms, conditions, rents, and rates of charges for such use. However, public utilities, rural cooperatives, political subdivisions, and pipeline companies may construct and maintain crossings of tollway projects with their facilities, without charge, if the facilities are constructed and maintained in compliance with reasonable requirements of public safety, and all costs of restoring the projects to as good a condition as they were before being disturbed, are paid by the owner of the facilities.

(b) The tolls charged by an authority shall not be subject to supervision or regulation by the city involved or by any other commission, board, bureau, agency, or political subdivision of the State of Arkansas.
