36 Pa. Stat. § 655.13
The parkway when completed and opened to traffic shall be maintained and repaired by and under the control of the commission, through the Department of Highways of the Commonwealth, and all charges and costs for such maintenance and repairs actually expended by said Department of Highways shall be paid to it by the commission, upon certification thereof, out of tolls. Such parkway shall also be policed and operated by such force of police, toll-takers and other operating employes as the commission may in its discretion employ.
The commission is hereby authorized to (a) fix and to revise from time to time tolls for the use of the parkway and the different parts or sections thereof and to charge and collect the same, except that no toll shall be collected from officers of the Departments of Forests and Waters, Game and Fish, or Highways, operating vehicles thereon, when on official business of the Commonwealth and (b) contract with any person, partnership, association or corporation 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, gas stations, garages, stores, hotels, restaurants and advertising signs or for any other purpose, except for tracks for railroad or railway use, and to fix the terms, conditions, rents and rates of charges for such use. Such tolls shall be so fixed and adjusted as to provide a fund at least sufficient with other revenues of the parkway, if any, to pay (a) the cost of maintaining, repairing and operating the parkway and (b) the bonds and the interest thereon and all sinking fund requirements and other requirements provided by the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or by the trust indenture as the same shall become due. Such tolls shall not be subject to supervision or regulation by any other State commission, board, bureau or agency. The tolls and all other revenues derived from the parkway, except such part thereof as may be required to pay the cost of maintenance, repairing and operating the parkway and to provide such reserves therefor as may be provided for in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds or in the trust indenture, shall be set aside at such regular intervals as may be provided in such resolution or such trust indenture in a sinking fund which is hereby pledged to and charged with the payment of (1) the interest upon such bonds as such interest shall fall due, (2) the principal of the bonds as the same shall fall due, (3) the necessary fiscal agency charges for paying principal and interest, and (4) any premium upon bonds retired by call or purchase as herein provided. The use and disposition of such sinking fund shall be subject to such regulations as may be provided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of bonds or in the trust indenture, but, except as may otherwise be provided in such resolution or trust indenture, such sinking fund shall be a fund for the benefit of all bonds issued hereunder without distinction or priority of one over another. Subject to the provisions of the resolutions authorizing the issuance of bonds or of the trust indenture, any moneys in such sinking fund in excess of an amount equal to one year's interest on all bonds then outstanding may be applied to the purchase or redemption of bonds. All bonds so purchased or redeemed shall forthwith be cancelled and shall not again be issued.
