Offered January 10, 2018 

Prefiled January 2, 2018 

A BILL to amend and reenact �� 33.2-214.1 and 33.2-370 of the 
 Code of Virginia, relating to the statewide prioritization process project 
 selection. 
---------- 

Patrons-- Stuart; Delegates: Cole and Thomas 

---------- 

Referred to Committee on Transportation 

---------- 

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That �� 33.2-214.1 and 33.2-370 of the Code of Virginia 
 are amended and reenacted as follows:

� 33.2-214.1. Statewide prioritization process for project 
 selection.

A. The General Assembly declares it to be in the public 
 interest that a prioritization process for projects funded by the Commonwealth 
 Transportation Board be developed and implemented to improve the efficiency and 
 effectiveness of the state's transportation system, transportation safety, 
 transportation accessibility for people and freight, environmental quality, and 
 economic development in the Commonwealth.

B. Subject to the limitations in subsection C, the 
 Commonwealth Transportation Board shall develop, in accordance with federal 
 transportation requirements, and in cooperation with metropolitan planning 
 organizations wholly within the Commonwealth and with the Northern Virginia 
 Transportation Authority, a statewide prioritization process for the use of 
 funds allocated pursuant to �� 33.2-358, 33.2-370, and 33.2-371 or apportioned 
 pursuant to 23 U.S.C. � 104. Such prioritization process shall be used for the 
 development of the Six-Year Improvement Program pursuant to � 33.2-214 and 
 shall consider, at a minimum, highway, transit, rail, roadway, technology 
 operational improvements, and transportation demand management strategies.

1. The prioritization process shall be based on an objective 
 and quantifiable analysis that considers, at a minimum, the following factors 
 relative to the total 
 cost of the project or strategy: congestion mitigation, economic development, 
 accessibility, safety, and environmental quality. In 
 evaluating congestion mitigation, the Board shall 
 assess person throughput and person hours of delay on 
 the basis of 
 number of users during all times of the week and not only 
 for weekday times.

2. Prior to the analysis in subdivision 1, candidate projects 
 and strategies shall be screened by the Commonwealth Transportation Board to 
 determine whether they are consistent with the assessment of capacity needs for 
 all for corridors of statewide significance, regional networks, and 
 improvements to promote urban development areas established pursuant to � 
 15.2-2223.1, undertaken in the Statewide Transportation Plan in accordance with 
 � 33.2-353.

3. The Commonwealth Transportation Board shall weight
