VTrans is the Commonwealth’s long-range transportation plan. The Virginia Multimodal Transportation Plan (VMTP) is the short-range component of the plan and details transportation needs and recommendations through 2025.  Virginia is developing statewide multimodal transportation recommendations and your input is needed!

The Virginia Office of Intermodal Planning and Investment (OIPI), alongside local stakeholders, has developed draft recommendations for the VTrans Multimodal Transportation Plan (VMTP).  The VMTP2025 Needs for Corridors of Statewide Significance (CoSS), Regional Networks, and Urban Development Areas (UDAs) were developed in 2015.  These 2025 Needs were consolidated across different travel markets and divided into three tiers.  The 2025 draft project recommendations for the Tier 1 Needs have been developed.  These draft recommendations will be available for review and discussion at an Open House on Wednesday, February 15th, from 4:00-6:00 p.m., at the Regional Transit Facility, 51 Ivy Ridge Lane, Fishersville, Virginia.

This Open House will be an important opportunity to share your input on these strategic investment recommendations.

If you have any questions, please contact Shana Johnson, sjohnson@foursquareitp.com, or to learn more about VTrans, please see www.vtrans2040.com.
