The Commonwealth Transportation Board will host a series of meetings across Virginia this fall.
The purpose of the meetings is to gain public feedback on transportation projects and programs related to highway, rail and public transportation across the commonwealth. Members of the community may participate by attending public meetings or submitting comments by email or by mail.
Officials have scheduled the Southwest Virginia meeting for Nov. 5. The meeting will take place at Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center, Room 240 in Abingdon.
The public will have an opportunity to learn and share feedback about top transportation priorities and the vision for transportation in the commonwealth along with information related to various other initiatives.
Representatives from the Office of Intermodal Planning and Investment, Virginia Department of Transportation, and the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation will be in attendance to highlight their transportation programs and to discuss the public’s ideas and concerns on Virginia’s transportation network.
