Stafford County recently announced they had received $8.4 million in transportation funding through the Virginia Department of Transportation's Revenue Sharing Program for roadway improvements on Shelton Shop Road, Leeland Road and the U.S. Route 1/Courthouse Road Intersection.
Transportation fund availability varies each year since it is based mostly on gas tax dollars tied directly to gasoline sales and prices. This year, the coronavirus pandemic significantly impacted transportation funding on local, state and federal levels. To address some of the funding shortfalls in the Commonwealth of Virginia, Governor Northam made changes to the state's Six-Year Improvement Plan that reallocated funding for projects in the out years to ensure current project schedules are supported.
This reallocation of funding still allows Stafford County to advance several projects, including two projects identified in the 2019 Bond Referendum.
