Virginia's New Plan to Revolutionize Transportation and Land Use Coordination.
Virginia is looking for ways to better coordinate transportation and land use planning. The report found that having a clear policy goal is key to achieving this coordination. Different policy goals can sometimes conflict, so it's important to be specific. Suggestions for improving coordination include quantifying transportation impacts of land development, involving the Virginia Department of Transportation in site plan reviews, using legislative tools to consider corridor impacts, establishing an access management code, and dedicating VDOT staff to work with localities on land development.
