Explanation

(This amendment directs the Department of Transportation and the Secretary of Transportation to make changes to the tolling policies on Interstate 66 Inside the Beltway. The 3 changes would revert the tolling hours to the HOV hours prior to the imposition of tolling, initiate tolling of reverse commuters, and refund all monthly per person tolls in excess of $200.00 until the new Eastbound lanes are open to traffic.)
