Virginia transportation board seeks feedback on proposed projects

Virginia's Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) is soliciting public input on rail and other transportation projects that have been recommended for funding.

CTB will host nine meetings in April and May, according to a CTB press release. Community members may participate by attending the public meetings or submitting comments online, by email or mail.

Projects being discussed include a draft of the fiscal-year 2020-2025 Six-Year Improvement Program (SYIP), which allocates public funds to rail, public transportation, highway, road, bridge, bicycle, pedestrian, and transportation demand management projects. 

SYIP identifies projects proposed for inclusion in the final program, which will be approved at the CTB’s June meeting. 

VTrans, Virginia’s long-range, statewide, multimodal transportation plan, will also be presented for feedback. The plan will identify transportation investment priorities and guides transportation agencies’ strategies and programs.
