 $1 Billion Offer Would Privatize Dulles Toll Road
A consortium of the region's leading road builders and operators said yesterday that it plans to offer Virginia a lump sum of more than $1 billion in return for revenue generated by the Dulles Toll Road for the next 50 years.
The downside to the Dulles Toll Road proposal is that Virginia would lose a moneymaker for the next half-century, and some state leaders questioned why the state would relinquish that money.
Toll rates, which range from 50 to 75 cents, would continue to be controlled by the state.

 Observer Online | Tolls to Rise in May
The 17-member Commonwealth Transportation Board on Thursday, Feb. 17 unanimously approved increasing the tolls at ramp plazas from 25 cents or 35 cents to 50 cents and at the main plaza from 50 cents to 75 cents.
The decision to raise tolls came despite area residents' protests that it unfairly burdens them with footing the bill for a project which would benefit all Metro users.
The Herndon Dulles Chamber of Commerce supported charging 50 cents at ramp plazas and $1 at the main plaza, but charging Smart Tag and E-Z Pass users 35 cents at ramp plazas and 75 cents at the main plaza.

 VA 267 Dulles Greenway
The Dulles Greenway is a 14 mile extension of the Dulles Toll Toad.
Furthermore, tolls at the Main Toll Plaza have also come down to an average of $1.50 depending on whether or not you use Smart Tag and whether it is a weekday or weekend.
I don't know whether this is because of the combined tolls of the Dulles Toll Road and the Dulles Greenway or because the Greenway goes directly to Leesburg and doesn't serve the communities on VA 28 north of the Greenway and those communities on VA 7.

 Tell Your Legislators: Don't Double Dulles Toll Road Tolls to Pay for Rail Boondoggle!
The current plan is to raise tolls from 50 to 75 cents at the main plaza and from 35 to 50 cents at other exits on Feb. 16, 2005, to finance a rail extension that will not be built out to Reston until 2011 at the earliest.
The Dulles Rail boondoggle must be stopped in its tracks, and putting the brakes on this toll increase is the first thing that can be done to keep bureaucrats from looting motorists to pay for transit.
If Dulles Rail moves forward, in addition to costing drivers and taxpayers $3.5 billion for construction, taxpayers will also be shelling out for much of the $94 million in annual operating costs once the project is completed.
