It Takes a Toll

Earlier this month, Delegate Chris Jones of Suffolk, member of the Hampton Roads Transportation Accountability Commission, said he would sponsor legislation that limits tolling on existing highways and bridge-tunnels. The announcement comes in the wake of plans from state transportation officials to add tolls and tolling lanes to parts of Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads. A recent Virginian-Pilot editorial addressed the concerns being voiced by many of the region's residents, and today Pilot Editorial Editor, Don Luzzato, joins us to go in depth on the issue, along with Philip Shucet, former Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Transportation, and Aubrey Lane, Virginia's Secretary of Transportation.
