WHAT IS THIS MEETING ABOUT? A number of statewide plans were completed several years ago and now it is time to update them.
• VTrans2035, Virginia’s long-range multimodal transportation plan
• 2035 Virginia Surface Transportation Plan
• Statewide Highway Plan
• Statewide Rail Plan
• Statewide Transit & Transportation Demand Management Plan
WHO SHOULD I TALK TO? Representatives from multiple agencies are here to talk about their respective initiatives and plan updates.
The room has been organized into a series of stations. Each station has information about one aspect of the Virginia transportation
planning process.
Please visit any or all of the stations and talk to the representatives from each agency.

WHAT IS VTrans?VTrans is Virginia’s long-range multimodal transportation plan. Virginia law requires the Commonwealth Transportation Board to develop a statewide multimodal long-range transportation plan every four years. It is a policy plan that frames the vision for the future and identifies the critical steps that must be taken to make that vision a reality.
TIMELINE The next plan, VTrans2040, will be completed by 2015, allowing the next administration time to develop and implement the plan. The VTrans2035 Update bridges the gap between VTrans2035 and VTrans2040, ensuring that Virginia’s long-range transportation plan does not become out-of-date.

PERFORMANCE-BASED PLANNING
•Transportation planners, service providers, and interest groups reviewed the draft framework and discussed how VTrans fits into an overall performance-based planning approach
•The VTrans2035 Update focuses on creating a framework that links goals, investment priorities, project and program selection by state and regional agencies, and ongoing performance measurement so that we can direct our investments to be most effective and adjust our priorities according to performance results

APPLYING THE RATING PROCESS•Given the limited transportation funds available to
all agencies, the VTrans2035 update will provide information about the cost-effectiveness of investment priorities. This information will help guide the policy recommendations in VTrans and also will provide guidance to state and regional agencies for their project and program selection processes.
•These recommendations focus on policy initiatives and guidance for discretionary funding – core programs such as safety and maintenance would not be diminished as a result of these recommendations.

PRIORITIES
Which are the most affordable?
2. AFFORDABILITY
Which can be implemented most easily?
3. IMPLEMENTATION
Which have the most potential downside if not implemented?
4. IMPACT OF NOT MAKING THE INVESTMENT
YES
This measure reflects the latest three years
of performance, and the investment priority’s
ability to impact multiple goals.
Affordability is based on the generalized
annual cost and ability to leverage multiple
funding sources.
Ease of Implementation is based on whether the
State can implement without multiple
partners and/or policy changes.
This measure considers whether failing to
make the investment will have short-term or long-term impacts, as well as regional or statewide impacts.
Increase system performance by making operational improvements
Preserve and enhance statewide mobility
Improve the interconnectivity of regions and activity centers

CORRIDORS OF STATEWIDE SIGNIFICANCE (CoSS)•The Corridors of Statewide Significance are
multimodal corridors that serve critical mobility, commerce and security functions in the Commonwealth.
•In 2011, the CTB added a new CoSS, the North-South corridor, focused on connecting Dulles Airport to the I-95 corridor.
•A series of Corridor Management Plans will be conducted to provide recommendations for preservation and enhancement of mobility in the CoSS, beginning with a current study for the North-South corridor.
•Many of the CoSS sections are being studied for improvements, such as I-66 in Northern Virginia, I-64 in Hampton Roads, South-East High Speed Rail in the I-95 corridor, and the Route 460 Enhancements PPTA.
•The VTrans2035 Update will include a process for adding or removing CoSS, establishing consistent criteria as a basis for making any future changes to the CoSS.

Corridors of Statewide SignificanceC o m m o n w e a l t h o f V i r g i n i a
Front Royal Inland Port
The Corridors of Statewide Significance were identified through a collaborative effort of planning partners across the state, including MPOs, PDCs and modal agencies. The intent of the Corridors of Statewide Significance is to connect regional planning efforts to ensure mobility on these critical statewide corridors and provide connections between the modes using them. To qualify as a Corridor of Statewide Significance, the corridor must meet all of the following criteria: � Involve multiple modes (i.e., highway, rail, inter-regional
transit, airport, port) or is a freight corridor and extends beyond an individual region
� Connect regions/states/major activity centers
� Provide a high level/volume of transport
� Provide a unique statewide function and/or address statewide goals

The VTrans2035 Update includes input from regional representatives on the linkages between the investment priorities and the CoSS. These linkages indicate where in the Commonwealth the CoSS can play a key role in implementing the highest-rated investment priorities.
USING THE FRAMEWORK
Once VTrans identifies highly-rated investment priorities, the state and regional agencies can use this information in a number of ways:
•The CTB can use the information on highly-rated investment priorities to review proposed programs, policies and projects
•State and regional agencies can incorporate the information about cost-effectiveness into processes they use to prioritize and select projects for funding
•State transportation agencies can identify recommendations that fit the highly-rated categories and, in the case of VDOT and DRPT, report this information to the CTB when presenting project recommendations
•Regional agencies can identify whether regional performance measures point to the same needs, and how those needs are addressed in regional plan recommendations
