The Hampton Roads Metropolitan Planning Organization (HRMPO) is undertaking an effort to develop a regional vision of public transportation, indicating the combination of transit services and land use intensity best suited for the region. The basic premise of this study is that public transportation provides a mobility option valuable to the individuals who use it and beneficial to the whole community as part of its economic infrastructure. Route-based public transportation services are generally financially feasible where they connect high activity locations.

This plan is being conducted at the request of the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) and will be used as input into the Hampton Roads component of the Virginia 2035 Statewide Transit Plan.

Authored by the consultant team of HNTB Corporation, Vanasse Hangen Brustlin Inc., RLS and Associates Inc., and Travesky & Associates Ltd. with cooperation from staff from the Hampton Roads Metropolitan Planning Organization, funding from the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation, and sponsorship by the Hampton Roads Partnership.
