Improving Travel for Everyone: Providing a More Reliable Trip and Better Travel Options

Providing a new travel choice and ensuring a reliable trip are the central purposes of the I-66 Inside the Beltway program.

During morning and evening commutes, I-66 Inside the Beltway is currently restricted to carpools (with 2 or more people), vehicles with authorized clean special fuel license plates, Dulles Airport travelers, and law enforcement.

With the I-66 Inside the Beltway program, in exchange for paying a toll, solo drivers will be able to use the interstate during peak hours. Carpools and vanpools (with 2 or more people, until a regional change to HOV-3+ goes into effect in 2020), transit, on-duty law enforcement and first responders will not pay a toll. Commuters who choose not to drive will enjoy better and more frequent transit services, as well as other improvements that will be funded by toll revenues. Making travel better and easier for everyone who uses the I-66 corridor is the goal of the program.
