A bill introduced in Virginia’s General Assembly could help cap tolls on the Dulles Greenway.
The bill would allow the private owners of the Greenway, which extends from the Dulles Toll Road to the Leesburg Bypass in Loudoun County, to sell advertising space on their property to offset operating costs. The bill’s sponsor, Del. David Ramadan, R-Loudoun, said it’s intended to keep tolls low and encourage the owners to charge distance-based tolls instead of the flat fee drivers now pay.
The Greenway hiked tolls Jan. 1 to $4.80 during rush hour, $4 at other times — up nearly a dollar from two years ago.
“For too long, Dulles Greenway commuters, including many of my constituents, have been paying tolls that are unfair and too high for the relatively short stretch of road they travel,” Ramadan said in a statement.
