Commonwealth Announces Results of Super NoVa Transit/TDM Vision Plan
One year after announcing the initiation of the Super NoVa Transit/TDM Vision Plan study, Governor Bob McDonnell today announced the final results of the study, which include transit and transportation demand management (TDM) enhancements needed to keep Northern Virginia moving. Led by the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT), the vision plan outlines policy, program, infrastructure, and service recommendations for Virginia in a super region that extends from the District of Columbia through Frederick (MD), Winchester, Warrenton, Culpeper, Orange, Caroline County, and Prince George's and Montgomery Counties in Maryland and the pan-handle of West Virginia. "This study focused on a very broad area looking beyond traditional local, regional and state boundaries," said Governor McDonnell. "The commuting patterns of our workforce and future population trends were closely studied to determine how best to move people in and around the super region. The result is a solid plan that provides transit and TDM recommendations to address the transportation challenges into the future."
