Methodology
Plan. Pathways to the Future: Transportation 2050, the long-range plan of the Richmond Regional Transportation Planning Organization (staffed by PlanRVA). The board adopted it on September 10, 2026. Source: PlanRVA
Money. Revenue, maintenance, local and regional totals, and the committed-project amount are the grand totals in Technical Report I. All dollars are year-of-expenditure, so later years include inflation.
Projects. Mode, locality, time band and cost come from Appendix D of Technical Report I, parsed from the PDF. The parsed mode totals match the report: $7.9 billion in all. Two projects (a bus rapid transit extension and a transfer facility) have no map line, so the map shows 125 of 127.
Map. Project lines come from PlanRVA's own ArcGIS layer for the adopted plan, downloaded November 11, 2026. Basemap: OpenFreeMap, © OpenMapTiles, © OpenStreetMap contributors.
Not covered. The plan's unfunded vision list (67 projects), the four-year Transportation Improvement Program, and SMART SCALE applications.
