Virginia eyes toll revenue for transit as express lane debate grows

Virginia plans to reinvest express lane and toll revenue into public transit rather than road projects, aiming to address congestion and affordability. The state expects to generate $46.5 million from express lanes, which are part of efforts to improve transportation options in Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads. The Commuter Choice Program, which partners with local agencies, helps reduce traffic by shifting commuters to transit and using toll funds for infrastructure improvements.
