Move more people – up to 40,000 per day by 2040 – and enhance connectivity for the I-66 Corridor

Provide more travel choices for single-occupancy vehicles (SOV)

Enhance transit service

Create opportunities for improved level of service of parallel routes

Provide seamless connectivity to the region’s 40+ miles of express lanes

Provide revenue stream support to multimodal components on I-66 and complementary corridors adjacent to I-66

Project Benefits

Hours of Operations: • Eastbound: 5:30 AM – 9:30 AM

• Westbound: 3:00 PM – 7:00 PM

• All other times there is not an HOV or Toll restriction

HOV 2+ toll free in 2017, HOV 3+ toll free in 2020

All vehicles using the lanes during tolling periods must have an E-ZPass or E-ZPass Flex, if they are HOV, mounted in vehicle.

Toll Price Signs • Toll prices will be displayed on electronic pricing signs

• Drivers will see two pricing signs before each entry point

• Signs will show the total price for up to three destinations.

• Drivers will lock in their toll price for their destination at the

first pricing sign

• Toll prices may be adjusted as often as every five minutes

based on real-time traffic conditions

• Signs may display pricing information prior to tolling period
