§There are no consumer subscription
fees for mandatory safety applications.
□Does not preclude mandatory
universally applicable taxes or fees to finance the system**
□Subscription or other fees for non-mandatory, opt-in
applications are possible.
**Subscription fees refer to ongoing fees that a consumer voluntarily
chooses to pay for a service.
Mandatory universally applicable fees differ in that they are not voluntary and are therefore likely to either be
collected by government
agencies (such as in conjunction with vehicle
registration) or included
in the purchase price of the vehicle or equipment.
