VDOT SCHEDULES MEETINGS TO DISCUSS PROPOSED SERVICE CHANGES
Agency to Provide Overview and Collect Feedback on Service Reductions and
Facility Closures

 

RICHMOND - The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will host 11
public meetings across the commonwealth in March and early April to collect
public input on a comprehensive plan to address long-term funding
reductions.

During these meetings, VDOT will provide a brief presentation regarding the
proposed changes that will impact drivers in each area including planned
reductions to:

*	Rest areas 

*	Safety Service Patrols 

*	Mowing/roadside maintenance 

*	Ferry services 

*	VDOT residency offices 

Officials will also collect feedback from registered speakers. 

"Federal and state revenue sources continue to steeply decline, forcing the
VDOT to adjust its construction program, services and organization," said
David S. Ekern, VDOT Commissioner. "We are committed to discussing any
changes that will impact our customers prior to finalizing our decisions, so
we will host these meetings to gather public feedback on our proposed
plans." 

These service changes support the three-part Blueprint for the Future. 

The Commonwealth Transportation Board implemented the first phase of the
blueprint - reductions in the number of new projects that will be built -
when it adopted a revised Fiscal Years 2009-2014 Six-Year Improvement
Program on Feb. 13. 

The revised program cut $2 billion in funding, delaying or eliminating 808
projects statewide. 

The second phase of the blueprint involves VDOT staffing changes and
organizational restructuring. 

VDOT announced that it will cut 1,000 full-time and 450 part-time staff in
its construction development program, field operations and administrative
functions, and will close 15 residency offices and 36 equipment repair
facilities around the commonwealth in the next 18 months.

The third phase of the blueprint focuses on reducing spending for VDOT
programs and services. These include reducing motorist amenities and
maintenance contracts for services not affecting driver safety. 

These proposals include reducing: 

*	Rest areas and welcome centers 

*	Ferry services 

*	Safety Service Patrols 

*	Interstate maintenance services 

*	Vegetation management 

Public meetings will be held as follows. All begin at 6 p.m.
