We invite you to review the opportunities below, explore the details, and share your voice before the upcoming deadlines.

Hampton Roads FY 2027-2030 TIP Draft Project List

Comments Received through
March 3, 2026

Hampton Roads Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a financially constrained, multi-year program for the implementation of surface transportation projects within the Hampton Roads region. The TIP must contain all federally funded and/or regionally significant projects that require action by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) or the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Before projects can be constructed or studies conducted, they must be included in the current TIP that has been approved by the HRTPO Board.

The HRTPO, in coordination with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT), Hampton Roads Transit (HRT), Williamsburg Area Transit Authority (WATA), Suffolk Transit, and the Cities and Counties of Hampton Roads, is developing a full update of the TIP. 

Review the Hampton Roads FY 2027-2030 TIP Draft Project List and submit your comments by March 3, 2026.

Review the Draft Project List for Our Transportation Future

Comments Received through 
March 11, 2026

As we build the 2050 Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) for Hampton Roads, we’ve reached one of the most critical milestones in the process: balancing the budget.

The Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO) has officially released the Draft Fiscally Constrained Project List. This list answers a fundamental question: out of all the transportation improvements our region wants, which ones can we realistically afford to build over the next 25 years?

Before this list is finalized and approved by the HRTPO Board, we’d appreciate hearing your thoughts. Review the full Draft 2050 LRTP Fiscally Constrained Project List, explore projects in your community, and let us know what you think by March 11, 2026.

Your feedback ensures that the projects we prioritize today will best serve our communities tomorrow.
