The biennial reporting requirement was established by the General Assembly in 2018 for the Office of Intermodal Planning and Investment (OIPI) and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). The purpose of this report is to provide transparency and accountability related to the use of funds to implement multimodal transportation improvements throughout Virginia. The report fulfills the requirements outlined in the Code of Virginia § 33.2-232. To meet the requirements of the legislation, the 2025 Biennial Report includes information on the current performance of Virginia’s multimodal surface transportation system, targets for future performance as well as progress toward those targets, and project highlights that embody the Commonwealth’s efforts to meet the set objectives. The report also provides insight into the Six-Year Improvement Program, the results of SMART SCALE project evaluations, and the status of the Virginia Transportation Infrastructure Bank and the Toll Facilities Revolving Account.

Transportation Investment Cycle

Performance-based planning and programming guides decisions within each step of the planning, project development, investment, and asset and system management life cycle.

Virginia’s best-in-class multimodal transportation system provides safe and reliable mobility, connects people and commerce, fosters economic growth and investment, embraces environmental stewardship, and enhances quality of life. Virginia’s transportation agencies actively engage in performance-based planning and programming, utilizing data-driven processes to identify strategies and investments to achieve the VTrans vision, goals, objectives adopted by the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) in April 2025. In addition, the CTB also adopted performance measures and targets in April 2025. VTrans applies to the surface transportation network developed, managed, or operated by VDOT, the Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT), and, indirectly, the Virginia Passenger Rail Authority (VPRA). VTrans unifies these agencies under a common vision and set of overarching goals.
