I-395: Virginia DRPT Invites Public to Open House

From City of Alexandria:

The Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) invites the public to attend an Open House to discuss the status of its I-95/I-395 Transit/Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Study. The public Open House will be from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, September 21, at City Hall, (301 King St.) in the Sister Cities Conference Room (room 1101).

The purpose of the I-95/I-395 Transit/TDM Study is to develop a comprehensive list of transit and TDM projects that would be eligible for funding from revenues generated by the I-395 Express Lanes Extension project. If the Express Lanes Extension project is approved, the Commonwealth of Virginia has committed to providing a minimum of $15 million per year to fund transit and TDM projects along the I-95/I-395 corridor. DRPT staff will be in attendance at the Open House to answer questions.

As part of the study, DRPT has developed a survey to gather information about transit and TDM needs along the I-395/I-95 corridor. Regular commutes in this corridor are encouraged to take the survey.

For additional information, please contact Todd Horsley, DRPT’s Director of Northern Virginia Transit Programs, at todd.horsley@drpt.virginia.gov or 703-259-2117.
