WHAT IS THE PLAN ABOUT?

ConnectRVA 2045 is the latest Long-Range Transportation Plan for the Richmond, Virginia, urbanized area. The RRTPO, supported by PlanRVA, develops this long-range strategy to guide the effective investment of public funds for multi-modal transportation infrastructure throughout the Richmond Region. The plan is federally mandated to cover at least the next 20 years. The RRTPO creates a 25-year plan and updates it every five years.

ConnectRVA 2045 also provides the foundation for the development of the Richmond Regional Transportation Planning Organization's (RRTPO) Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), allocation of other grant funds, short-range capital improvement programs that implement some of the needed highway, transit and bikeway projects identified in the project lists, as well as the RRTPO’s annual work program activities.
