TOLLROADSnews: Dulles Toll Road toll hikes confirmed 22% Jan 1 2013, 27% 2014 for train subsidy, 2015 deferred while non-toll $s hunted
--- Quote ---2012-11-14: Struggling to finance $3.02 billion of its $5.6 billion rail line with toll revenue bonds the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) decided today to put firmly in place two years of toll increases but to defer a decision on recommended increases in the third year. Tolls for the typical trip in a car on the 13.4 mile tollroad in the western part of the Washington DC metro area will rise from $2.25 to $2.75 (22%) January 1 2013 and to $3.50 (27%) Jan 1 2014.

Washington Post: Dulles Airport celebrates 50th anniversary
--- Quote ---It was a cold, drizzly day in November 1962 when President John F. Kennedy led the opening of Dulles International Airport.
--- End quote ---
--- Quote ---An Air Force pipe band played a graceful program of four songs. The president hailed a new age in air travel. Dulles was billed as an airport for the jet age at a time when most fliers traveled by prop and turboprop planes.
--- End quote ---
--- Quote ---This month, that band was back together again — part of the 50th anniversary celebration of the airport. At least four of the men who performed on that overcast day five decades ago played again at a gala dinner and later for passengers and visitors to Dulles. They were a bit slower and a bit grayer but still sharp.

I think the MWAA Board of Directors could impose a toll on Airport Access Road drivers if it wanted to. It has been discussed in the past, but I have never heard of any federal restriction.
