Commonwealth Transportation Board Announces Statewide Meetings

The Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) is conducting nine public meetings across Virginia to gather citizen feedback on proposed transportation projects. These meetings offer residents a vital opportunity to shape the future of Virginia’s transportation infrastructure before the Draft Fiscal Year 2026-2031 Six-Year Improvement Program (SYIP) is finalized in June.

The SYIP will allocate public funds to a comprehensive range of transportation initiatives including highways, roads, bridges, rail systems, bicycle and pedestrian paths, public transportation, and transportation demand projects. Projects under consideration include those funded through SMART SCALE, safety initiatives, repairs for structurally deficient bridges, and public transportation and rail improvements.

Community members can participate by either attending one of the scheduled public meetings or submitting their comments online. All meetings begin at 4 p.m. unless otherwise noted:
