This bill seems that it would help to focus our vital transportation dollars onto projects that actually improve traffic congestion, not fund projects that have political or revenue motivation (such as the Bi County Parkway). Put out limited dollars into the traffic nightmares of the East West traffic in Northern Virginia.
