  2. What is VTrans? • Code of Virginia -- § 33.1-23.03 • Requires CTB to develop a statewide multimodal long-range plan. • Facilitated by Office of Intermodal Planning & Investment and transportation agencies within the Transportation Secretariat. • VTrans Creates Policy Framework • Policy document that frames the vision for the future and identifies critical steps that must be taken to make that vision a reality. • Provides Framework for Other Planning Efforts • Transportation agency plans, Surface Transportation Plans, Rural Long-Range plans and regional/MPO plans follow the framework of VTrans to support the goals and priorities outlined therein.

  3. Why a VTrans2035 Update? • Legislative changes sought better coordination between the development of VTrans and the gubernatorial administration. • The General Assembly changed the VTrans timeline to every four years and required the submission of a statewide plan by January 1, 2013 and another, updated statewide plan by December 1, 2015. • In this way, each administration will have time not only to develop a VTrans update, but also to implement the recommendations therein, during their term in office.

  4. Why a VTrans2035 Update? • Due to this legislative change, the current VTrans effort, known as VTrans2035 Update, is considered an interim update, which keeps the same horizon year as the previous VTrans2035. • This update will serve as a bridge between VTrans2035, completed in 2009, and VTrans2040, due in 2015, as the Commonwealths shifts to a performance based planning standard.
