Ever wonder what happens the moment you drive under one of our all-electronic tolling systems?

Here's the simple version:
1️⃣ You pass under the gantry, no need to slow down
2️⃣ Sensors detect your toll electronically
3️⃣ Your payment processes automatically, behind the scenes

That's it! No stopping, no fumbling for cash. Just smooth, continuous travel. Have questions about a statement? Visit: https://bit.ly/4w0tHDP

For 60 years, toll collection attendants have been part of the daily drive on RMTA roads, through blizzards, hurricanes, and countless morning commutes.

As we move toward full all-electronic tolling, VPM sat down with a few of the people who have staffed our booths, some for nearly five decades.

As fall sets in the days are getting shorter, which means more of your drive on RMTA roads may happen after sunset.

Turn your headlights on a little earlier, give yourself extra room to brake on wet pavement, and watch for leaves that can make the road slick even when it hasn't rained.

Small adjustments now make for a safer commute all season.

A few habits that help traffic keep moving on RMTA roads:

🚗 Maintain your speed through the toll lanes
🚗 Change lanes early rather than at the last second
🚗 Stay alert so small delays don't turn into bigger ones

Let's work together to keep roadways clear!

If you’ve driven the Powhite Parkway, you’ve driven a piece of RMTA history. As we celebrate 60 years of connecting the Greater Richmond Region, we’re looking back at the roadways that helped build the community we know today.

The Powhite Parkway was RMTA’s original roadway—the first section of the expressway system ever built—opening to traffic on January 24, 1973. It connected Chippenham Parkway to the Cary Street ramps across the James River.

More than 50 years later, the Powhite Parkway remains one of the most heavily traveled corridors in the region.

Did you know RMTA's expressway system handled over 64 million toll transactions in a single year? That includes traffic on the Powhite Parkway, Downtown Expressway, and Boulevard Bridge combined.

It's one of the busiest commuter routes in the Richmond region, with the Powhite Parkway alone accounting for well over half of all system traffic.

As a reminder when you travel our roadways, please use caution in work zones. Slow down, merge early when lanes are closed, and stay alert for signage and workers.

Our crews are out there working to keep our roads safe and reliable, help us keep them safe too.
