Current through 2024-51, December 18, 2024
Section 250-155-7 - PERMIT REQUIREMENTS FOR ROUTES ENCOMPASSING TURNPIKES AND STREETS OR HIGHWAYS UNDER LOCAL JURISDICTIONS
1. The procedures described in this document apply to highways under the jurisdiction of the state agencies that are parties to the Agreement. Thus, if a particular trip covered under this multi-state Agreement requires a permitted envelope vehicle to use a turnpike (in Maine, Massachusetts, or New Hampshire) or streets or highways under the jurisdiction of a town, city, or county, the carrier operating the vehicle must obtain those additional necessary permits as the current practice requires.
2. However, in the case of the Maine and Massachusetts turnpikes, as shown in dotted blue on the Regional Highway Network Map, some important changes have occurred which will further simplify the overall procedures:
A. Maine: In order to travel over the Maine Turnpike, the carrier operating such vehicles must have in their possession a permit issued by the Issuing State. A $10 permit fee will be collected at the entering toll plaza on the Turnpike and the applicable fare in accordance with the regular fare schedule will be collected at the exiting toll plaza.
B. Massachusetts: There is no longer a need to apply for a permit 30 days in advance. The permit will be issued at the toll gate at the time of entry
