A show of how government can keep its promises, the tolls on Georgia SR-400 are eliminated now that the route has been paid off.

However, it does seem wasteful to let the booths themselves end up in the junkyard. What about those drivers that still wish for an easy way to contribute to the community? That want to give their spare change toward bettering metro Atlanta for everyone?

We are proposing two toll lanes to stay open beginning January 1, 2014 for voluntary donations to:

1. Chattahoochee Riverkeeper Organization -- to maintain Georgia's river for generations. 400 Northbound.

2. United Way of Greater Atlanta -- to support change in education, health, and homelessness. 400 Southbound.

We all drive over it. Now, we can drive for it.
