3. Background
County of Fairfax, Virginia
February 2012 – Staff presented transportation funding needs to the
Board and discussed possible sources of revenue.
Spring – Summer 2012 – Staff and the Transportation Advisory
Commission developed and the Board of Supervisors approved a
public outreach strategy.
Fall 2012 – the “Countywide Dialogue on Transportation” was
conducted; numerous public meetings and a web survey were
conducted to discuss potential new funding sources for
transportation.
3
Winter/Spring 2013 – The Virginia General Assembly met and
considered a variety of transportation funding strategies/bills, and
adopted a transportation funding plan that included regional funding
for Northern Virginia.
4. Purpose
County of Fairfax, Virginia
• Evaluate unfunded projects
based on several selection
criteria, including public input
• Utilize all available revenue
sources to meet the needs of
these projects
• Assist the Board of Supervisors
in selecting transportation
priorities through FY 2020
4
5. Funding Outlook
County of Fairfax, Virginia
• Staff has considered all available revenue sources for FY2014FY2020.
• Revenues committed to projects in the Board’s Four-Year Plan
(FY2013-FY2016) have been excluded from discussion.
• A significant amount of funding comes from local and regional
revenues. However, estimated increases in state funding for
transportation projects in Fairfax County, due to the enactment of
HB 2313, have also been included.
• Total estimated funding available through FY2020 is $1.2 billion.
• The Board of Supervisors does not directly allocate all of these
5
funds. However, this effort is intended to identify the Board’s
priorities to NVTA , CTB and others.
7. County Projects Needed
County of Fairfax, Virginia
• The County has identified additional capital and operating projects
necessary to provide a safe and efficient transportation network.
• These projects are in addition to projects that are
already funded and in progress (see list of Funded Projects).
• These projects provide for new capacity. They do not address ongoing
maintenance needs, because road maintenance is primarily a state
responsibility, and most sources available to the County preclude
maintenance.
• The state will receive additional funding for maintenance from HB
2313.
• This effort is only considering the next six years.
