West Virginia Department of Transportation’s
Long Range Multi-modal Transportation Plan
The Long Range Multi-modal Transportation Plan is the West Virginia’s Department of Transportation’s (WVDOT) plan for transportation investment and decision-making. The Plan is an important first step in charting a direction for WVDOT and the State.
The planning process was initiated in early August 2008 and is expected to be completed in by the summer of 2010. As part of the project plan visions and goals were developed by working with a policy committee which included representatives from all modes and other agencies with a major vested interest in transportation (FHWA, Governor’s Office, Chamber of Commerce, Metropolitan Planning Organizations, Regional Planning and Development Councils, etc.).
The plan development process will Inventory of the States overall modal infrastructure and identify the physical assets under the direct control of each agency of the WVDOT. It will review historic funding expenditure types and levels corresponding with each revenue source and mode and use this information to develop a 25-year revenue forecast. An estimate of future transportation needs for each modal agency will be developed and compared to the needs. Two rounds of eight public meetings will be conducted during the plan development process. For highways a review of WVDOH’s project prioritization methodologies will be conducted.
