Babble, babble, babble. Tolls on the Dulles Toll Road help pay for Silver Line construction because reduced traffic volumes make Toll Road users among the most direct beneficiaries of the Silver Line.
HOT tolls on 66 inside the Beltway will go toward transit-oriented projects in the I-66 corridor, mostly through Arlington. Keep in mind that virtually no Arlington County drivers use I-66 in the rush hour. Arlington residents bear the brunt of the inconvenience that 66 causes, but it is Fairfax and the western counties that reap the lion's share of the benefits.

Well, the Republican ones have all been disasters. No news there, though.
