[quote=Anonymous]Virginia has privately-owned tolled express lanes situated within publicly-owned free highways. This is what you see on I-95, I-395, I-495, and soon on I-66 outside of the Beltway. Toll revenues go the private express lanes — not to the entire road. The dynamic tolling along I-66 inside the Beltway is much more of a congestion mitigation measure than revenue generator. I assume VDOT was allowed to do this because the road was previously HOV only during rush hour periods, and the tolls only go into effect during rush hour periods for vehicles that don’t meet the HOV requirement.[/quote]
