Public Review Opportunity:
Draft Prioritization Scores for the
2050 Long-Range Transportation Plan
The Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO) invites you to review and comment on the Draft Prioritization Scores for the 2050 Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). Guided by the 2050 LRTP vision of Transportation for All, this work reflects the HRTPO’s commitment to building a transportation system that is safer, more connected, more reliable, and more resilient for everyone in the region.
The LRTP serves as the region’s long-term blueprint for transportation investments. Because transportation needs exceed available funding, the HRTPO uses a prioritization process to help identify which candidate projects offer the greatest overall benefit for the region. This data-driven approach evaluates each project based on factors such as safety, congestion relief, connectivity, cost-effectiveness, and resiliency. The resulting scores help show which projects can most effectively improve mobility, access, safety, and system performance.
Over the past year, HRTPO staff have worked closely with technical stakeholders to apply updated data and evaluation methods that reflect current and forecasted regional conditions, as well as the region’s shared priorities. The resulting draft scores and rankings reflect this collaborative effort and mark a key milestone in developing the 2050 LRTP, scheduled for adoption in May 2026.
We now invite the public to review the reasonableness of these draft scores and share feedback to support a transparent evaluation process.
