Electronic Toll Collection

VDOT has two major toll facilities in the NOVA region - the Dulles Toll road and the Dulles Greenway. The Dulles Toll road is operated by VDOT whereas the Dulles Greenway is currently operated by a private agency. The VDOT Toll Administration system - "Smart Tag Center" provides general payment administration capabilities and supports the electronic transfer of authenticated funds from the customer to the transportation system operators for all Virginia toll facilities. Recently, VDOT Toll facilities started to accept EZ-PASS toll tags ensuring compatibility with the toll administration in the I-95 Corridor states.
