The bill sets the tolling hours for HOT lanes on Interstate 66 inside the Beltway from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. until the eastbound widening project on Interstate 66 inside the Beltway is completed. The bill requires that the Department of Transportation activate tolling on reverse commuters inside the Beltway on Interstate 66. The bill directs the Secretary of Transportation (the Secretary) to engage the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) and federal government officials for the purpose of implementing dynamic tolling on the Dulles Airport Access Highway and requires that the Secretary report to the Chairmen of the House and Senate Transportation Committees.
