LBJ Expressway flyover lanes, Dallas Texas

Tell them No!

MD is pushing an $11 billion public-private partnership (P3) to expand I-495 and I-270 for as many as four for-profit tollways. They claim it will end rush hour congestion without costing taxpayers a dime.
Luxury Lanes depend on bad traffic congestion to make a profit.
Luxury Lanes depend on billions in taxpayer aid, despite the private investment.
$28 - 48 rush hour tolls were charged (pre-COVID) on Northern Virginia's I-495 and I-66 Luxury Lanes.
CABE is pushing back. We're a growing coalition of civic associations, taxpayers, and other organizations demanding better, affordable commuter options for suburban Maryland.
Contact your elected officials. Use our contact list. Tell them to resist MDOT's push for Luxury Lanes and protect taxpayers, communities, homes, and the environment.
