Six-Year Improvement Program
Revised Draft Fiscal Years 2010-2015 Six-Year Improvement Program
Dec. 17, 2009: The Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) took action at its meeting in Richmond today to address transportation revenue estimates that continue to slide downward. The latest shortfall for fiscal years 2010-2015 now totals $893.5 million, including more than $42 million in additional reductions announced in December. The latest revenue estimates require the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and the Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) to reduce administrative, operational, maintenance and construction programs to balance their budgets.
Overall, since spring 2008, available transportation revenue has been reduced by $4.61 billion.

May 20, 2009: The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) presented a draft Six-Year Improvement Program for Fiscal Years 2010-15 today to the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB).
The total proposed program is $7.4 billion, down from $8.9 billion in the revised Fiscal Years 2009-14 budget approved three months ago.
The Fiscal Years 2010-15 budget reflects $650 million in cuts to the highway program and $880 million in reductions to rail and transit.
The highway declines are largely a result of continued state and federal revenue shortfalls, while the transit and rail declines are mainly attributed to the transition of the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, which reduced the program by $776 million.
The Commonwealth of Virginia will host four public hearings across the state in June to receive public input on the Fiscal Years 2010-2015 Six-Year Improvement Program for highway, transit, rail and commuter service improvements.
The list of tentative Fiscal Year 2010 enhancement project selections will also be available at the public hearings. A copy is also available on the Transportation Enhancement Program Web page.
CTB members will host the hearings and leaders from VDOT and DRPT will attend and provide information.
