The Northern Virginia Transportation Authority, which is charged with allocating some $351 million in locally raised state taxes for 2015-16, held a meeting March 25, to receive public input into the projects they propose to fund.
The Virginia law governing the selection of eligible projects provides that the Northern Virginia Transportation “… Authority shall give priority to selecting projects that are expected to provide the greatest congestion reduction relative to the cost of the project and shall document this information for each project selected.”
