(c)(1) SANDAG's toll structure may include discounts and premiums to encourage efficient use of projects and reduction of congestion and emission of greenhouse gases, including, without limitation, discounts for high-occupancy vehicles, electronic toll collection, and off-peak travel, and premiums for on-peak travel.

(2) SANDAG shall revise or eliminate any free or reduced-rate toll rate schedule adopted pursuant to paragraph (1) as necessary to ensure compliance with obligations described in subdivisions (b) and (f).

(d) SANDAG's toll structure may include adjustments to toll rates to reflect economic factors, including, but not limited to, the Consumer Price Index or other cost indices.

(e) SANDAG's toll structure shall reflect the toll setting policies and procedures set forth in any agreement under Section 31483.
