While drivers adjust to all-electronic tolling, coins will continue to be accepted on the Dulles Toll Road in Virginia into early 2021.

Once a date is set for the Dulles Toll Road to go all-electronic toll collecting, tollbooth change baskets will be removed, and coins will no longer be accepted, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority said in a news release.

Manual tolling on the Dulles Toll Road was suspended on April 6, in conjunction with the Virginia Department of Transportation’s response to COVID-19.

Currently, any lane can accept payment using an E-ZPass account. Apps, such as GoToll, Slora, Uproad and Peasy, may also be used to pay tolls.

Motorists without electronic or exact change payment will be sent a violation via mail. Drivers are encouraged to visit the Virginia Department of Transportation’s online toll violation payment website to proactively pay missed tolls and receive information on other notices, MWAA said.

A golf course for ‘the people’ faces a presidential makeover

WASHINGTON (AP) — A pack of cyclists whisked by along the circuit at East Potomac Park while the golf course parking lot filled with luxury SUVs parked next to older, inexpensive economy cars, all with the Washington Monument in the background. The scene highlighted what residents say are the park's best features: its accessibility and affordability right in the nation's capital. The historic park, especially the golf course, has caught the eye of President Donald Trump, who wants to turn it into a world-class golf venue. It's part of his grand vision for Washington, D.C., where he has torn down storied structures, remade or renamed others and deployed the National Guard for more than a year. But some residents fear the planned changes to the golf course — where Trump has visited with a cabinet member, a well-known golf course architect and blueprints — risk altering the character of a place that has served Washingtonians of many stripes for more than a century. Turning the park into an upscale golf course will mean costlier fees and a loss of public space, residents worry.
