RICHMOND - An advisory panel consisting of transportation experts and policy-makers will hold its second meeting Tuesday night in Arlington County to review and evaluate two private-sector proposals to build high occupancy toll (HOT) lanes on the I-95/395 corridor from the Northern Virginia to Fredericksburg regions.
