[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP (and many other Nova residents) have just learned a very powerful, yet basic, economic lesson: everything has a quantifiable value. Your commute has a cost that is imposed on your state and the Virginia taxpayers. And now you are being assessed a price for that commute - either time or money.

I predict that many behavioral economists will be studying the HOT lane data in the next few years. It's a treasure trove of interesting findings.

What is special about my commute that it I should be charged SO much more than other resident taxpayers?[/quote]

and to PP, nah your argument is full of it and sounds like like Fox pablum - this is just about handing over public, formerly tax-payer funded roads to private companies while continuing to tax us and giving proceeds to private corps, rather than politicians in Richmond refusing to sell out and instead distributing road funding equitably instead of repaving perfectly oversized roads outside of NOVA in their low-population districts.

I66 is not owned by a private company. Its a VDOT project.  The toll revenues go to VDOT, and the excess revenues over the cost of administering the tolls are going to transit and bike/ped improvements.  [/quote]
