What agenda items were adopted at the start of the Transportation Committee meeting?
Good morning everyone. Uh with that I am calling the Board of Supervisors Transportation Committee meeting to order. Um we will try to be expeditious with our time, but if we go over, blame Dan Stork for running an excellent prior meeting uh that went a few minutes late. Uh we've got a lot on the agenda today, so I will start by asking if anybody has any updates to the uh the meeting minutes. I didn't think so, so with that they are adopted. Um uh as uh my chair's prerogative, uh I wanted to update everyone very briefly before we got into our agenda um with an uh a recap of the Transportation Hill Day. Um a week ago Thursday I went up to the Hill with um Andre Jimenez, who is our legislative committee chair, uh who asked me to join him
To advocate for the transportation priorities of the county. We met with six, we met with seven different offices. I met with six of them but had to leave a little early. But we focused on four major key components that touch on federal funding and our priorities of the county. The first was capital investment grants. Richmond Highway BRT, the Route 1 BRT, is paid for In part with capital investment grants from the federal government. We know it's also paid for in part with grants from NVTA. So this works really well with uh our meeting today. Uh the uh House Appropriations Bill included $150 million in it for Richmond BRT, and we wanted to support that. The second issue we were talking about was WAMATA funding.
$150 million in PRIA funding that goes towards Capital was also included in that House Appropriations Bill, which had just been passed, and we wanted to make sure that that was something that was protected as well. A third major priority of us was bridge formula funding that also was in various bills because we care about our connections across the Potomac Ocean. American Legion Bridge, Woodrow Wilson Bridge, we badly, badly, badly need. A new American Legion Bridge and the latest bridge funding formula increases the amount of money for those types of bridges. We obviously support that. And the last of our four major priorities was the Long Bridge, which is funded. But we want to make sure that there are no problems down the line.
The Long Bridge is a very important connection, will help us with VRE. We'll connect the whole corridor, frankly, opens up the The uh Southern Eastern Seaboard to rail uh traffic.
How did the committee recap the recent Transportation Hill Day and its four priority projects?
So those were our four major priorities. Uh when you go into a Hill office, you have to get them out very quickly. So I practiced a lot. Um and with that, I think I've only taken three minutes to talk about it, which was the the effort here. Um but with that we will go into our first uh um our first uh agenda item today, which is a Presentation from Monica uh from the uh Northern Virginia Transportation Association. Sorry, uhuthority. My bad. Good morning everyone.
Because I don't thank you. Um, and I want to start off by acknowledging Chairman McKay who serves as an authority member, Supervisor Beerman, who's on our planning coordination advisory committee, and I know uh Supervisor Herity is not here today, but he's an authority member as well. In the interest of time, I will be brief, but I did want to note of the the authority to date we've programmed five billion dollars in regional Multimodal transportation investments around the region. Of that five billion, nearly 2.3 billion is programmed right here in Fairfax County. Not to go into a lot of detail, but you see a snippet of some of the projects. The one, as Supervisor Billman mentioned, Route 7 BRT, Innovation Center, Metro Station, West Sox Bus Operations and Maintenance Facility.
Bus purchases, Richmond Highway, the Whitening, Fairfax County Parkway, Frontier Drive, etc. etc. The point is that we've programmed a lot of money in Fairfax County. Additionally, because our monies are 70% regional revenues, 30% local, the local distribution transfers to Fairfax County to date total $575 million. But I'm here to talk about the one, the Regional Bus Rapid Transit Action Plan. Now I'm here because this is high level.
