On April 21, 2011, the HRTPO Board approved a revised list of regional projects and studies for inclusion in the 2034 Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP).  The revision included upgrading the US Route 460 project from a study to a construction project.

The HRTPO staff coordinated with localities in April 2011 to determine local projects of regional significance to add to the approved List of Projects and Studies for inclusion in the 2034 LRTP. These additional projects are funded either by local allocations of state and federal funds or local funding contributions.  With these locally funded projects and the approved List of Projects and Studies, the HRTPO staff has developed the Draft 2034 LRTP List of Projects for Air Quality Conformity Analysis.  This Draft Project Conformity List includes all regionally significant projects that must undergo air quality conformity analysis.

Before the HRTPO Board's final approval of the 2034 LRTP Draft List of Projects for Air Quality Conformity Analysis in June 2011, the HRTPO is reaching out to the public for a review of the Draft Project Conformity List and soliciting input via public meetings and submitted comments.

Three public meetings will be held across the Hampton Roads region to accommodate public opportunity to provide written and verbal comments.  The meetings will provide a brief overview of the process of developing the LRTP,an opportunity to review the Draft 2034 List of Projects for Air Quality Conformity, and final steps in the development and adoption of the 2034 LRTP before opening up for public commentary.  Meetings will be held from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm in the following locations on the following dates:

• May 25, 2011 - Hampton Public Library, 4207 Victoria Blvd., Hampton, VA 23669
