Operating Budget Addenda (in order of greatest impact)
Provides funding to support extending intercity passenger rail service from Roanoke, Virginia to the Blacksburg-Christiansburg, Virginia area and increasing the frequency of intercity passenger rail service along the I-81/Route 29 Corridor from Washington, DC.
Allows the Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) to manage the affairs of the newly created Virginia Rail Authority until the Authority is able to have a functioning board, hire an executive director and supporting staff, and function independently. (Item 443)
Corrects the proper name of the Commonwealth Rail Fund and updates the responsibility for reporting from the Secretary of Transportation to the Director of the Department of Rail and Public Transportation.
Provides flexibility to urban transit agencies and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority in submitting strategic plans during the COVID pandemic.
Allows the Commonwealth Transportation Board to maintain the Department of Rail and Public Transportation’s (DRPT) operating budget at FY2020 levels. Otherwise, given declining transportation revenues due to the COVID-19 emergency, the agency's operating budget could decline, making it difficult for the agency to manage the many public transportation projects it has to address. (Item 444)
This amendment removes $50.0 million in general funds included in the introduced budget to support the extension of passenger rail service between Roanoke and Washington DC. A companion amendment under Item 447.10 appropriates both general fund and nongeneral fund money to support this and a series of other transportation initiatives.
