Hi, I am Heather Ferguson from Dominion Towing Inc. We highly support this bill as over the past few years with the increase in the cost of every aspect of our business we have not been able to offset them since we are highly regulated in every avenue. We also have not been able to get all of our localities to adopt the state rate towing fees that were put in place in 2018. This would be a huge help to our business! Thanks :)
i am in favor of HB1649 as it is written only, no changes. Any changes i am against the bill. i am totally against HB2062 regardless of any changes. i am in favor of HB 2392
As a business owner of a Towing in the Commonwealth of Virginia for 49 years Serving the public, and the local law enforcement. I'm for this bill as it is written. If any changes or substitutes or amendments are put in place, I would be totally against the bill. Thank you all for your and service to the Commonwealth of Virginia it is very much appreciated
HB1649 I am in favor of this bill as it is written, if any substitutes or amendments are offered I would be against the bill as i believe if offered they would be detrimental to the towing industry in Virginia leading to the loss of many of these small businesses. Thank you for your time and service to the commonwealth of Virginia. HB2062 I am strongly against this bill or any amendments or substitutes I believe this bill would put many small businesses out of business as they could not afford the added legal fees this bill would bring. It would also cause the price of towing to raise sharply as the towing companies that do survive would now have to keep a lawyer on retainer. This would be a added cost past on to the consumer. I believe laws should be made for all of Virginia and just 1 towing company as it will through the whole industry under the bus. Thank you for your time and service to the commonwealth of Virginia. HB2392 I am in favor of this bill as the towing companies need to be able to recoup there legal fees and cost. Thank you for your time and service to the commonwealth of Virginia.
I am voting to increase the private property impound fees in newport news
I vote for hb1649 to increase to raise private property towing fees!
I SUPPORT 1785 and 1939. Traffic violence is behind only gun violence when it comes to preventable deaths, and speed is a major factor in that. I am proud to be a constituent of Delegate Plum. For HB 1609, it looks promising on its face - I support any effort to get people to choose modes of transportation other than driving. But I have questions. On that note, I SUPPORT 2338. I SUPPORT 1649 and 1712 and 1723 and 1995. I OPPOSE 1894. One cannot be considered a person until one is born, and I am not in favor of any legislation that can create precedent to grant personhood to a fetus, embryo, or zygote.
It would be easy for anyone to understand why localities push off needed rate increases when this type of towing doesn't end with a "Thank you". Some of our localities have not had a rate increase in 7-10 years. These cities also do not allow for night or week-end differential rates. (additionally these cities currently use the impound rates as the standard base rate for quick response police accidents, (30 mins or less ). Please recognize this is a service that requires 2 calls, tow & release and/or access to car for no additional charge + a secure place to take the vehicle to that cost as well. (try getting that with a plumber and answer in 30 min regardless of time, day or week-end. Employees, trucks, insurance & lots are not cheap. Thank you all for your time. Bill Higgins
Personally, myself and other towing companies within the state of Virginia are definitely in need for the passing of HB1649. All of our business expenses have been climbing up words. With no help in recouping the expenses. So, I'm in favor of this HB1649 bill, as a raise in tow rates is very much overdue and needed. Because of the high cost of doing business such as I'm sure each member of the committee realizes themself how costly everything is. We all know how costly gasoline and fuel prices are. Our business insurance rates have jumped 25% or more in just the last year, cost for new equipment has gone up 30% or more in the last 12 months. As well as our cost of labor and all the city and county property and other taxes, plus rent, phone and electric. It is really unbelievable. This raise or more is very much needed at this time and place. The raise will help the towing industry within Virginia to continue to serve the people of the Commonwealth fairly. One final thing it will not cost the people of the Commonwealth anything if they would just simply obey the parking laws, rules and regulations. Read the signs and obey them. The towers are only doing their job that they are required to do. I again ask that all the members of the committee support this legislation bill HB1649 Thank you for your service to the people of the Commonwealth.
I wish to express my support for passage of HB1649. Recent inflationary pressures have increased all of our operating expenses. Increases to the charges allowed in this section of code are needed to enable towing businesses to remain profitable.
HB1649 I am in favor of this bill as a raise in tow rates is much needed because of the rise in cost of doing business such as I am sure the committee knows about the added fuel cost but did you know our insurance rates have jumped 20% in the past year, cost for new equipment has go up 27% in the last year not to mention property taxes, rent, phone and electric. In fact I can not think of anything that has come down. This raise is much needed at this time. The raise will help the towing industry in Virginia to continue to be able to serve the people of the Commonwealth and help keep our kids in college. One final note it will not cost the people of the Commonwealth anything if they obey the parking laws, rules and regulations. I again ask that the members support this legislation. Thank you for your service to the people of the Commonwealth.

My name is Steven Fraser and I am proud resident and family business Owner in Loudoun Count. For the last 23 years, this is has been my home and I am writing today in support of HB 1858. The Greenway is the only toll road in the region whose prices are regulated by the State Corporation Commission (SCC) under the Virginia Highway Corporation Act of 1988. Every other toll facility in Northern Virginia on the VDOT system (including 395 and 495 Express Lanes as well I-66) is governed by the Public-Private Transportation Act of 1995 and utilizes distance-based tolling. Unfortunately, the SCC regulatory regime does not provide for distance-based tolling. As I’m sure you aware, HB 1858 would provide the mechanism to allow for distance-base pricing on the Greenway and I strongly encourage you to support the bill. The time has come time to end the annual fight over toll rate increases on the Greenway. Distanced-based pricing will give drivers in the region another option when it comes to commuting, getting more cars off Routes 7, 50, and 28 as well as neighborhood cut throughs. It also will lead to more drivers using the Greenway for in-county trips to community meetings, schools, businesses, and youth sporting events. Equally important, it will make it easier to get to the three Metro stations in Loudoun. On behalf of Loudoun County small business owners, our employees, fellow residents of Loudoun and all visitors to our great County, I urge you to support HB 1858 Thank you.
Dear Delegates, I am a Loudoun-based business owner in favor of the Greenway distance based tolling bill. Please see attached my testimony for the committee. Thanks, Joe Graham CableTEK LLC
Dear Delegates, I’d like you to be aware of my support for HB 1858 (a bill to direct the Commissioner of Highways to evaluate whether roadways operating under the Virginia Highway Corporation Act of 1988 should operate under the Public-Private Transportation Act of 1995). I support this legislation because I use the Dulles Greenway and I believe that tolls on the Greenway will be reduced if the Greenway is regulated like all other toll highways in Northern Virginia. Currently the Dulles Greenway is the only toll road in this region for which tolling is regulated by the State Corporation Commission (SCC) under the Virginia Highway Corporation Act of 1988. Meanwhile, other toll facilities – like the express lanes on I-495, I-395, and I-66 – are regulated by the Public-Private Transportation Act of 1995, which allows for distance-based tolling. Let’s please stop the annual rise in tolls on the Dulles Greenway. Allowing the Greenway to be regulated by the Public-Private Transportation Act of 1995 would enable a fairer distance-based tolling system, something the SCC regulation does not. That’s why I encourage you to support this bill, HB 1858. Thank you. Sincerely, Jason S Rufner Regular Commuter in Northern Virginia

The Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police supports HB 2191, which would allow civil code enforcement officers to remove abandoned vehicles instead of leaving the task to police officers or deputies. This would alleviate the burden on our limited law enforcement resources. Code enforcement officers are trained in the civil enforcement of zoning provisions, local ordinances and health and safety regulations, and are well equipped and appropriate to take on the removal of abandoned vehicles
HB 2191 is a bill from the City of Roanoke's 2023 General Assembly Legislative Program and is meant to free up local police and allow a locality's civil enforcement division to be able to direct the removal of vehicles that meet the requirements of the statute. This applies in public right of way (private right of way requires owner permission) and is an efficiency measure for the police (the Virginia Chiefs of Police Support) and the civil/code enforcement. Please support.
The Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police supports HB 2191 to allow the removal of abandoned vehicles under civil code enforcement. This relieves the law enforcement agency from this responsibility to be able to do their primary mission, and streamlines the abandoned motor vehicle removal process for local government.
