Performance-Based Prioritization
All transportation projects and investments are not equal and should not be treated as such. The Commonwealth of Virginia operates the nation’s third largest state highway network (60,000 miles). The metropolitan Washington region and Northern Virginia rank #1 nationally in traffic congestion. The state, region and sub-region have lists of hundreds of transportation projects (wants), but no short lists of performance based priorities (most important needs).
For over a quarter century the Alliance’s focus has been on those transportation investments that will move the most people in a cost effective manner and provide a regional framework to support intelligent land use decisions.
