Regional Revenues (70%)

NVTA selects and approves these multimodal investments, including roadway expansions, transit enhancements, and bike and pedestrian infrastructure, through a comprehensive process that includes eligibility review, data-driven analysis, and public input.

- The remaining 70 percent of the revenues received by the Authority under subsection A, plus the amount of any revenue to be redistributed pursuant to subsection B, shall be used by the Authority solely to fund transportation projects selected by the Authority that are contained in the regional transportation plan in accordance with subdivision 1 of § 33.2-2500 and that have been rated in accordance with subdivision 2 of § 33.2-2500. The Authority shall give priority to selecting projects that are expected to provide the greatest congestion reduction relative to the cost of the project and shall document this information for each project selected.

Local Distribution Fund (30%)
The remaining 30% is directly returned to Northern Virginia’s cities, counties, and towns. Each jurisdiction has the flexibility to use these funds for its own transportation priorities, such as local road improvements, transit services, bike and pedestrian enhancements and more.
- § 33.2-2510. Use of certain revenues by the Authority.
- 30 percent of the revenues received by the Authority under subsection A shall be distributed on a pro rata basis, with each locality's share being the total of such fee and taxes received by the Authority that are generated or attributable to the locality divided by the total of such fee and taxes received by the Authority. Of the revenues distributed pursuant to this subsection, as determined solely by the applicable locality, such revenues shall be used for additional urban or secondary highway construction, for other capital improvements that reduce congestion, for other transportation capital improvements that have been approved by the most recent long-range transportation plan adopted by the Authority, or for public transportation purposes.
