The VRE Operations Board considers fare increases every two years to offset expected increases in operating costs.

Submitted by Virginia State Senator Jeremy McPike’s office:
He introduced Senate Bill 1536, a bill to require operators of dynamic tolling facilities in Northern Virginia to included the estimated travel time, along with the price, for each posted destination. Consumers need all the information to make an informed choice about whether a high fare is worth it for them. Nothing is worse than paying the high toll and then getting trapped in gridlock in the facility.
