   Here's the url for an article on WTOP's website about MD and VA trying to get toll lanes.

	What's really interesting about the article is this quote from a VDOT official...

	"Pierce Homer, deputy secretary of the Virginia Department of Transportation, said guaranteeing car poolers can use the express lanes for free is "difficult." "It is easy to cheat, and it is expensive to enforce," Homer said. Possible ideas include separate transponders for HOV vehicles."

	Wouldn't be surprised if all of us are paying tolls to use I-95/395 in a few years.
