Public meetings in May on SuperNoVa transpo vision plan

The Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) will hold a second set of public meetings for the Super NoVa Transit/Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Vision Plan. Based on public and stakeholder input from February meetings, the team has extensively studied existing and future regional travel demand, land use, population, and employment information and identified gaps in existing services and mobility programs as well as has identified areas of potential need. 

The next three public meetings, scheduled in May are to review the results of the land use and transportation analysis as well as review a summary of future regional transit and TDM needs.

Ultimately, the Super NoVa Transit/TDM Vision Plan will outline a regionally coordinated and comprehensive transit and TDM vision that will support increased mobility and greater transportation choices in the region. The Super NoVa region not only includes the northern part of Virginia, it also examines needs of commuters to the region from Washington D.C., Maryland and West Virginia.
