Va. Department of Rail and Public Transportation seeks input on six-year plan

The public has the opportunity to provide feedback on transportation projects across Virginia at a public hearing May 16 at 4 p.m. at DRPT's headquarters, 600 East Main Street, Suite 2100 in Richmond, and virtually by registering online. DRPT is developing a Six Year Improvement Program, which will allocate public funds to rail, public transportation, and transportation demand management. The current SYIP proposal includes projects that are scheduled to be implemented between 2025 and 2030.

“We are excited to engage with the community and hear their perspectives on transportation projects," said DRPT Director Jennifer DeBruhl. "Your feedback is crucial as we strive to create a more connected and efficient transportation system that improves the quality of life for all Virginians."

The Commonwealth Transportation Board will host nine public meetings across Virginia to gather feedback from the community.
