Tim Kaine supports the use of HOT lanes to supplement existing lanes. HOT lanes are variable toll lanes that react to congestion. A new HOT lane project was just approved for 14 miles of the 495 Beltway between the Springfield Interchange and the Dulles Toll Road. The two new HOT lanes in each direction will supplement the existing lanes and provide greater capacity for moving traffic. Tim Kaine will continue to encourage carpooling to reduce congestion by allowing carpoolers to ride free in HOV/HOT lanes.
