From 405 U.S. 707 - Evansville-Vanderburgh Airport Authority District v. Delta Airlines, Inc. · 1972Most cited · 464 citing opinions
a charge designed only to make the user of state-provided facilities pay a reasonable fee to help defray the costs of their construction and maintenance may constitutionally be imposed on interstate and domestic users alike. The facility provided at public expense aids rather than hinders the right to travel. A permissible charge to help defray the cost of the facility is therefore not a burden in the constitutional sense.
