The Commonwealth Transportation Board will cast a final vote today on a $14.4 billion package of nearly 3,200 rail, road and other projects for the next six years, the first such plan to use a new scoring and prioritization framework created by the Virginia legislature in 2014.
The board and state transportation officials discussed Virginia’s Six-Year Improvement Program at a workshop meeting Monday. It will be the first to employ the HB2 process signed into law by Gov. Terry McAuliffe more than two years ago.
About $1.7 billion of the plan involves projects scored under the HB2 process, created to use objective criteria to select transportation priorities and ensure the state is getting the most value from limited funding.
