==Ground transportation== ===Roads=== Washington Dulles is accessible via the [[Dulles Access Road]]/[[Dulles Greenway]] ([[State Route 267 (Virginia)|State Route 267]]) and [[State Route 28 (Virginia)|State Route 28]]. The Access Road is a toll-free, limited access highway owned by the [[Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority]] (MWAA) to facilitate car access to Washington Dulles from the [[Interstate 495 (Capital Beltway)|Capital Beltway]] and [[Interstate 66]].<ref name="toll road">{{cite web| title=Dulles Toll Road| url=http://www.mwaa.com/tollroad/921.htm| publisher=Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority| access-date=June 3, 2011| url-status=dead| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110610054324/https://www.mwaa.com/tollroad/921.htm| archive-date=June 10, 2011| df=mdy-all}}</ref> After it opened, non-airport traffic between Washington and [[Reston, Virginia|Reston]] became so heavy that a parallel set of toll lanes were added on the same right-of-way to accommodate non-airport traffic (Dulles Toll Road). The airport-only lanes are both less congested and toll-free. As of November 1, 2008, MWAA assumed responsibility from the [[Virginia Department of Transportation]] both for operating the Dulles Toll Road and for the construction of the [[Silver Line (Washington Metro)|Silver Line]] down its median. Route 28, which runs north–south along the eastern edge of the airport, has been upgraded to a limited access highway, with the interchanges financed through a property tax surcharge on nearby business properties. The Dulles Toll Road ([[Virginia State Route 267|VA-267]]) is extended to the south of [[Leesburg, Virginia|Leesburg]] as the Dulles Greenway. ===Public transportation=== [[File:Dulles Airport Station Mezzanine 1115.jpg|thumb|The [[Washington Dulles International Airport Station|Dulles Airport Station]] of the [[Washington Metro]] is part of the system's [[Silver Line (Washington Metro)|Silver Line]].]] [[Washington Metro]] service is available to Dulles via the [[Dulles International Airport station|station]] on the [[Silver Line (Washington Metro)|Silver Line]].<ref name="Dulles Metro">{{cite web| title=Dulles International Airport| url=http://www.dullesmetro.com/stations/dulles.cfm.html| publisher=Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority| year=2011| access-date=February 9, 2013| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130205010213/http://dullesmetro.com/stations/dulles.cfm.html| archive-date=February 5, 2013| url-status=dead}}</ref> Service began operation on November 15, 2022.<ref>{{cite press release |title=Metro customers invited to ride the first passenger train to six new Silver Line stations |publisher=WMATA |url=https://wmata.com/about/news/Metro-customers-invited-to-ride-the-first-passenger-train-to-six-new-Silver-Line-stations.cfm |website=wmata.com |access-date=November 15, 2022 |archive-date=November 15, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221115082510/https://www.wmata.com/about/news/Metro-customers-invited-to-ride-the-first-passenger-train-to-six-new-Silver-Line-stations.cfm |url-status=live }}</ref> [[Fairfax Connector]] bus routes 981 and 983 serve Washington Dulles, connecting to the Herndon–Monroe park & ride lot in Herndon, the Reston Town Center transit in Reston, the [[Wiehle–Reston East station|Wiehle–Reston East]] Metro station, and the [[Steven F.
