Richmond Regional Transit Vision Plan

Nov 24, 2015

Transit is an important factor in opportunity and economic prosperity. A long-term vision for transit in the greater Richmond area is needed.  The Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT), in cooperation with the Richmond Regional Transportation Planning Organization (RRTPO) and GRTC, is developing the Richmond Region Transit Vision Plan to address this issue. The study team will use current transit and demographic data, land use data and plans, transit and population forecasts, public opinion surveys, and stakeholder input to create and present a regional transit vision plan to stakeholders and the public that will guide transit development in the region through 2040.

Please visit, http://www.drpt.virginia.gov/transit/major-transit-initiatives/richmond-regional-transit-vision-plan/ to learn more information and find the materials from this month’s public meetings, including a six-minute video put together by Southeastern Institute of Research that outlines results of their research for transit in the Richmond region. You will also find a link to a survey for you to provide feedback about transit. Please take a chance to complete the survey by December 4th.  Please encourage others to do the same.
