The Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA) voted July 9 to adopt the Fiscal Year 2020-2025 Six-Year Program, which will provide $539 million to 21 multimodal transportation projects.
NVTA called the project its "most competitive" to date with 13 northern Virginia localities and agencies requesting $1.44 billion in funding.
Several Northern Virginia communities just across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., will benefit from the new monies for new and upgraded transit and rail projects. Among them are:
NVTA explained that all projects within the adopted FY 2020-2025 Six-Year Program are regional in nature and aimed at reducing congestion and getting people to their destinations faster.
The fully funded projects will receive sufficient funds to advance to construction, while the partially funded projects, such as the Franconia-Springfield Passenger Rail Bypass, will advance to the early phases of project development, but not necessarily completion.
"The adoption of the Six-Year Program Update demonstrates an ongoing commitment to a multimodal approach that addresses Northern Virginians' mobility needs and challenges, and supports the region's economic vitality, while providing an economic stimulus to the region's economy," said NVTA Chair Phyllis J. Randall.
"The regional collaboration and ability to look beyond jurisdictional lines is truly remarkable and a benefit to all Northern Virginians, as well as those traveling through the D.C. metropolitan area."
