This report provided to the Virginia Chamber of Commerce and its Commonwealth Transportation Alliance a model and methodology by which transportation projects can be prioritized in accordance with a set of value criteria. The model and methodology contained in the report provides eight (8) criteria for assessing the relative merits of a particular transportation project, allowing each area of the state to develop goals reflecting local desires but insisting that these goals be compatible with an overall statewide strategy for providing a comprehensive and efficient transportation system as cost-effectively as possible. Most importantly, the model can be used to compare the relative strengths and weaknesses of transportation projects in Virginia.
