Bill Summary
Transportation funding; project prioritization; sidewalks. Authorizes the consideration of the use of sidewalks and new sidewalk projects for certain project prioritization processes that apply statewide and to the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority, for purposes of transportation funding, and expands the permissible use of certain revenues by the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority for capital improvements that reduce congestion to new sidewalk projects.
AI Summary
This bill modifies how transportation projects are prioritized and funded, particularly in Northern Virginia. It allows for new sidewalk projects to be considered as a way to reduce traffic congestion when statewide transportation projects are being evaluated for funding. Additionally, it expands the permissible uses of certain revenues collected by the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA), a regional transportation planning and funding body, to include new sidewalk projects as a capital improvement that can help reduce congestion. This means that both statewide and regional transportation funding decisions can now give weight to the impact of new sidewalks on reducing the number of single-occupant vehicles on the road.
