An influential regional transportation group on Wednesday voted to remove a proposal to widen and add toll lanes to parts the Capital Beltway and Interstate 270 in Maryland from its list of priority transportation projects, putting federal funding for the plan from Gov. Larry Hogan in doubt.
Members of the National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board struck the proposal from its list of projects that would undergo an environmental analysis — a required step to receive federal funding.
Nearly every Maryland representative on the board moved to remove the project, as did some from the District and Northern Virginia, according to reports.
