Louisiana school boards get toll-free vehicle travel

Vehicles owned or leased and operated by Louisiana school boards receive free passage on covered public ferries, bridges, and roads. This removes tolls or license fees at facilities leased or controlled by the state, a parish, or a municipality. The Greater New Orleans Expressway is excluded. State rules govern how the exemption applies. The law does not require school boards to pass savings on to families.
