evening commute is going now. hey, mark. >> reporter: hey. well, if you're trying to get home on 66 westbound, it's going great for you because as you can see, it's light traffic, moving at speed. virginia department of transportation just release the data from this morning's rush hour. we now know more than 60% of the cars on the road were single occupancy vehicles who had to pay the toll. good news is that more than 80% of the cars got the message and had their ez-pass transponders in place. and it cut the commute for people in half. but all of that comes at a cost. right now according to the app, it's going to cost you $8.50 to drive from d.c. the full nine miles on route 66. this morning, the peak fair was $34.50. >> 34.50, shut up. >> reporter: this couple isn't

on i-66. >> toll road, toll road, toll road. i don't know, why do i pass pay taxes? >> reporter: the new tolls allow passengers to use i-66 during rush hour, something they weren't allowed to do before. depending how far you drove along 66 this morning, it cost drivers from 50 cents to $34.50. the new tolls are in effect for all single occupancy cars from 5:30 to 9:30 in the morning eastbound, and from 3:00 to 7:00 in the evening westbound. you'll need an ez-pass transponder to avoid any fines or late fees. cars with two or more riders go for free, but they need to have the flex pass transponder and flip the switch to hov so they won't get charged. the new tolls are in effect along the nine mile stretch along i-66 in the beltway. for those who had to pay 11, 25 or more than 30 bucks to drive to work this

governor terry mcauliffe was unapologetic. >> this is how it's supposed to work. when it's getting too congestion, they don't want you on the roads. do an alternative. >> there doesn't appear to be any attempt to build new roads. they're charging more money to use the old roads. i thought that's why we pay separate taxes. >> we could not keep 66 the way it was if you live in northern virginia like we do. it's just bottleneck. >> reporter: so, we have not seen the big surges this evening that we saw this morning. we've been monitoring the costs since we came on the air at 4:00. it started about 6:00, $6 to go on, now it's up to 8.50 for that full length. one thing you should know, for 15% of drivers who don't have an ez-pass transponder in your car, you can still go home. log on to the ez-pass website, enter your lice sense plate and

you avoid the fine of not having the transponder, there is still a small administrator fee. vdot tells us that would be an option the entire time. you have to wait three days from the day you went on 66 for it to appear. that's the very latest. back to you in the studio. >> thank you, mark. well, our transportation reporter adam tuss decided to jump into the conversation as people were complaining on twitter. he reminded everyone i-66 is free if you are part of a car pool. and even took on some of our own people at news4 when chuck bell pointed out that a $34 toll each way would cost people $14,000 a year. adam pointed out that all the other cheaper ways to get into the district, there are plenty, he says. and he ended his response with the outrage over this is in and of itself an outrage, quote-unquote. it is important to remember that driving inside

beltway, wasn't even an option for single drivers before today. rush hours used to be hov only inside the beltway. so, how much would you be willing to pay to make your commute quicker? most of you say not much, less than 5 bucks. weigh in on our flash survey on the nbc washington facebook page. >> we are staying on top of some breaking news we're following here. president trump is celebrating a bit of a victory tonight. the supreme court says the administration can fully enforce a travel ban on residents from six mostly muslim countries. this buona pliez to travelers from chad, iran, libya, skoe mali can't, syria and yemen. the justices ruled tonight the policy can take full effect even while legal challenges against it continue to move forward in the courts. lower court rulings have allowed people from those countries to continue to come into the u.s. as long as they have certain relationships with someone who is already established here. justices

but it's coming home from work tomorrow evening when we'll be dealing with wet roads out there. you want to keep this in mind if you have somewhere to be. budget time for the evening commute with rain in the forecast. you know how our area gets with any kind of weather. right now temperatures are in the 40s and low 50s. 50 in washington, 46 degrees in gaithersburg. we start the day off tomorrow with temperatures in the 40s. you want a light jacket as you head out the door. make sure to grab the umbrella as well. 6:00 a.m., 45 degrees. by 8:00 a.m., 40 degrees. cloudy, rain moves in after lunch time. it is also breezy for your tuesday afternoon. but the temp not bad with the high temperature of 62 degrees. by wednesday, the cold air has arrived. 49 for a high, maybe a shower on wednesday before 7:00 a.m. otherwise we'll have mainly cloudy skies throughout the day. we keep it completely dry on thursday. a high of 47, not a bad day for early december. on friday, though, as we close out the

42 for a high temperature on friday. and there is that chance for some rain and snow. but really after midnight. everyone has gotten home from school and work before we worry about that chance. weather is having a low impact on your day on friday. but saturday we are watching a system for some light rain and snow. little or no accumulation. but it's certainly there. and on sunday as the system pulls away with blustery conditions it's going to feel like we're in the 20s and low 30s on sunday when you factor in the winds. and as we get into the holiday season, i guess i should say we're in it right now, so many of you put up wonderful displays. we sent our chopper up and he went and captured these last week of people's displays across the area. and doug every thursday in december is going to go out to a different neighborhood, a different home, and if you want him to go out to your home, #dougsholidaylights facebook twitter, instagram, wherever you can. he'll hope hopefully. up

>> announcer: this is the xfinity sports desk. >> winning streaks this season have been hard to come by for the redskins, but for some reason the skins are successful when they head west. they're 2-0 after seattle and the rams. sunday is a chance to keep that perfect west coast record. and lots to pack before heading to cali. lots of tape today at practice. morgan moses had his ankles wrapped up. didn't practice along with jordan reed and trent williams. linebacker zach brown also sitting out. jay gruden saying he will not consider shutting down injured players unless it's season ending. redskins playoff hopes all but gone. the team has a lot to play for down the stretch. >> if we can win the rest of these games -- when we win the rest of these games, we can look back and say, hey, even though we didn't get to where we wanted to go, we still

season. >> i have a bunch of guys out here that are going to compete and play hard no matter what the situation is. there is a reason why they're here, because i know they're great competitors, they'll get themselves ready to play san diego or l.a. sorry. >> well, jay might not remember the chargers in l.a., but this team needs a win or do they? sports junkies have this edition of the good, the bad, the junkies. >> what do they have to play for now? they're at 5 and 7. if i'm running the organization, you start packing at this point because, look, winning a few games down the stretch doesn't help you in the overall grand scheme of things. losing games helps improve your draft position. i know e.b. hates the whole packing prospect, but when your playoff hopes are as faint as the redskins are, yes, they do still have a mathematical possibility of qualifying, you're just in as a redskins fan

but if you're casual or kind of on the fence, what lure does the last four games of the season have? none. >> they're not going to sit down per guys, they'll win a couple games, they'll beat the cardinals. broncos are awful. they'll have 7 or 8 wins. you'll have a middle of the road to late round draft pick. you don't really get better that way. >> if they're smart, and i don't agree with tanking, but there is kind of a way you can tank. put trent williams on the i.r. you put zach brown on the i.r. key contributors that have been playing banged up, there is no sense quitting them hurt for next year. these next four games are going to be dreadful. they're basically glorified preseason games. the home games are going to be spectacularly embarrassing in terms of attendance. >> if you want cheap tickets, go to redskins game down the stretch. >> i wouldn't go for free. there's nothing to play for. >> i wouldn't go if they told me i could stand on he

>> yeah, right. zach, your sunglasses, go with a 2 and 10 record. the zblients now waiting, not waiting until the end of the season. head coach ben mcado and gm jerry reese fired with the second year coming off a playoff appearance. you may remember he benched eli planni manning after starting 210 games. he will be back. he is expected to be starting against the rival dallas on sunday. but you have to see this. pretty incredible from the hershey, their annual teddy bear toss. leon o'brien scored. fans throwing 25,000 stuffed animals onto the ice. it's a new team record. it's really incredible. i guess the cherry even on top as they went on to win this one. and they all go into charity for the holidays. so it's really spectacular. this is a team record as i said. almost 4,000 more than last year. but caps in action tonight also the wizards. >> very

>> it's really cool. >> fun to see. >> think of all the kids getting them. >> thank you. >> nightly news is going ♪ [orchestr♪ uning up] ♪ ♪ take on your retirement, with a medicare supplemental plan from carefirst medplus, the name you know and trust. here for today, and whatever comes next. medicare supplemental plans from carefirst medplus.
