The Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) will host nine meetings across Virginia and invites the public to share feedback on transportation projects.
Virginians are welcome to attend meetings and provide feedback or submit feedback via email or mail about projects recommended for funding and other transportation initiatives.
The public will have an opportunity to learn and share feedback about:
The Draft Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2031 Six-Year Improvement Program (SYIP), which allocates public funds to highway, road, bridge, rail, bicycle, pedestrian, public transportation and transportation demand management projects. The Draft FY 2026-2031 SYIP identifies projects proposed for inclusion in the final program, which will be before the CTB at its June meeting. All federally eligible projects in the SYIP will be included in the federally required Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) to document how Virginia will obligate its federal funds. The Draft FY 2026-2031 SYIP includes projects recommended for funding in the following programs:
SMART SCALE — provides funding to public transportation, transportation demand management, and capital improvement projects through the High Priority Projects Program and the Construction District Grant Program
Safety — provides funding for safety improvements across the roadway network
Innovation and Technology Transportation Fund (ITTF) — provides funding for pilot programs and fully developed initiatives related to high-tech infrastructure improvements
State of Good Repair — provides funding for deteriorated pavements and structurally deficient bridges
Public Transportation and Rail — provides funding to support public transportation agencies and rail programs throughout the Commonwealth
Comments will also be accepted for new projects valued at more than $25 million.
