The public is invited to learn more about the proposal to increase rates on the Dulles Toll Road at three hearings set for August and September.
Under the proposal, tolls would increase by 25 cents at the Main Toll Plaza and at the ramps in 2010, and then by another 25 cents at the Main Plaza in the years 2011 and 2012. The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, which oversees operations of the toll road as part of the Dulles Metrorail extension project, set the hearings at these locations and on these dates:
Monday, Aug. 24: 5-8 p.m.

According to the MWAA Web site, at the sessions, there will be informational exhibits about the Metrorail Project; the cost and financing of the Metrorail Project; the Dulles Toll Road and potential improvements that may be made to the Toll Road in the future; the revenue anticipated to be raised as a result of the proposed toll increases; and how this additional revenue will be spent.
Those who can’t attend the hearings can find exhibition information at www.mwaa.com/tollroad. The public also may subt comments on the Web site the website once the exhibit information is posted in August.
The first, the Dulles Regional Chamber, honored Bouweiri twice – once for Community Service and again for Excellence in Marketing and Enthusiasm – at the chamber’s annual Chairman’s Awards Luncheon on June 30th. The chamber, which is the largest in Fairfax County, acts as a community partner for 1,000 businesses and affiliates in the Dulles and Rt. 28 business corridors.
“Not only does Reston Limousine deserve recognition for being the region’s premier transportation company, but its president and CEO, Kristina Bouweiri, demonstrates exceptional leadership in her work with our organization and the women’s business company,” Cullen added.
