The Governor has called a special session of the General Assembly to begin on June 23 to deal with transportation funding. The Governor will introduce legislation that will provide new and sustainable funding for transportation.

This legislation will provide for about $1 billion a year for transportation. Approximately one-half of that money will go to Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads for regional transportation initiatives. Over $470 million a year will go to statewide maintenance. It is critical that your legislators are aware you support sustainable funding for transportation.

The system takes less than five minutes to use. So e-mail your legislators today and encourage others you know to use the system as well.
