Trip Charge. (a) State Toll Co may levy a Trip Charge in relation to each Trip, each category of Vehicle and each Quarter from and including the Quarter in which the Date of Tolling Commencement occurs, calculated in accordance with section 5.3(b). (b) A Trip Charge for a Trip, a category of Vehicle and a Quarter is calculated as follows: Trip Chargeq = Flag Fallq + Toll Chargesq where: Flag Fallq = the Flag Fall for the Quarter; and Toll Chargesq = the sum of the Toll Charges for the category of Vehicle, the Quarter and each Toll Zone forming part of the Trip. (c) State Toll Co may levy a Trip Charge for use of a Vehicle in a Toll Zone which is less than the Trip Charge able to be levied under section 5.3(a) (whether by way of one or more discounted Toll Charges, a discounted Flag Fall, or both) provided that such discount: (i) is offered to all Vehicles in the same category as that Vehicle; (ii) is offered in relation to travel at a particular time (for example over weekends, public holidays or off-peak times); and (iii) has been notified by State Toll Co at the same time and in the same manner as notification of the then applicable Toll Charges and Flag Fall under section 5.5(a).
