Studies

What's Being Done?

This Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is being developed by the Virginia Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration and the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation.

It will study potential multimodal improvements that will address existing and future transportation needs in the Interstate 66 corridor from U.S. Route 15 in Prince William County to Interstate 495 in Fairfax County. 

The study area encompasses areas both north and south of the existing I-66. 

The EIS is being developed as a Tier 1 document. 

A Tier 1 EIS differs from traditional EIS’s in that it focuses on broad issues such as:

• Purpose and need
  
  
• Travel modes (bus, carpool, rail transit, car, etc.)
  
  
• Technology choices
  
  
• The general location of proposed improvements

Public participation is the keystone to any successful transportation study. Throughout the I-66 Tier 1 EIS study, residents will have opportunities to offer suggestions and call attention to concerns. 

The first public meetings were held in June 2011 and a second round of meetings took place on Jan. 31 and Feb. 2, 2012, as the team solicited input on the purpose and need statement for the study.  

Additional  meetings will take place in the summer of 2012. Continue to check the website for further details.
