The plan calls for converting the HOV lanes that go from Washington to Prince William County into HOT lanes, which stands for High-Occupancy Toll.

The lanes would still be free to vehicles with three or more people. But vehicles with only one or two occupants would also be able to use them if they pay a toll. The price would vary based on the degree of congestion.

ABC 7 News myTAKE - What's Your Opinion?The project also calls for adding another lane, bringing the total number of HOT lanes to three.

Later, Virginia officials plan to extend the HOT lanes south from Dumfries to Massaponax.

Meetings are scheduled later in the week in Arlington, Woodbridge and Fredericksburg and next week in Spotsylvania.
