CHANTILLY, Va. (AP) -- Higher toll rates have led to sparser
traffic on the Dulles Greenway. But the 14-mile private toll road
is generating more revenue than ever.
Daily weekday traffic on the Greenway fell nearly 8 percent over
the first three months of this year, compared with the same months
in 2008.
The significant dip in traffic coincides with fee increases that
took effect in January. It now costs $4 to drive on the Greenway
during rush hour and $3.40 at all other times, up from $3.
Since the increase, average daily revenue has jumped 11.5
percent
