Letter, AAA says MWAA has tin ear on tolls, Fairfax Times, August 17, 2012

MWAA board isn’t grasping impact of toll hikes

Another increasingly expensive round of fee hikes is in the offing for users of the Dulles Toll Road, according to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, which operates the road.
The $6 billion cost of the construction of the Silver Line — and the ever-escalating tolls to finance it — are like a “silver bullet” in the heart of motorists and commuters.
It appears the Airports Authority Board of Directors has a tin ear; it has done little to convince us otherwise. It is not heeding the cry of burdened motorists and commuters who are being nickled-and-dimed to death at the toll booth. . . .
