Roll Back Tolls on Dulles Greenway


Roll Back Tolls on Dulles Greenway
The Issue
Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell
House Speaker William Howell
Senate Majority Leader Tommy Norment
The Dulles Greenway is a privately owned highway between Leesburg, Virginia and Dulles Airport.
The Greenway is owned by Toll Road Investors Partnership II (TRIP II) , which in turn is owned by the Australian private firm Macquarie Group.
Tolls on the Dulles Greenway are now $5.55 during rush hour -- or 40 cents a mile.
Compare that to most major toll highways -- less than 10 cents a mile.
We urge you to take action to roll back the outrageous tolls on the Dulles Greenway.
Congressman Frank Wolf (R-Virginia) calls the tolls "highway robbery."
West Virginia singer Angela Petry agrees.
She has released a song about the Greenway called "Highway Robbery."
"It's a disgrace," Wolf said. "Everyone knows that these tolls are ripping people off and there's not much we can do about it."
But there is something you can do about.
You can -- and should -- pass a law that rolls back the tolls on this "Commonwealth" highway.
