Transportation Technology Strategic Plan
The Transportation Technology Strategic Plan (TTSP) was designed to foster a proactive approach to innovation that advances the vision and goals for Northern Virginia while reducing congestion. It now informs numerous NVTA work products and InNoVAtion Initiatives, and collectively helps NVTA continue to build momentum in the region.
The NVTA Transportation Technology Strategic Plan (TTSP) consists of strategies and an Action Plan, which were designed to proactively prepare for the use of evolving technologies to address travel demand on infrastructure, while keeping congestion reduction top of mind. The full TTSP is maintained as a living document, and NVTA staff will continue to provide regular updates on progress through the NVTA Chief Executive Officer’s monthly report to the Authority.
Recognizing no one can plan for continuously evolving technologies and infrastructure challenges alone, the Nine Strategies were identified and defined with the guidance of the NVTA CEO’s Transportation Technology Committee (TTC), comprised of local, regional and national thought-leaders representing a broad range of perspectives relevant to the development, implementation, operation, and impact of transportation technologies.
InNoVAtion Events
Annual Roundtable
Each year, NVTA, in partnership with the Intelligent Transportation Society of Virginia (ITSVA), hosts the Annual Northern Virginia Transportation Roundtable, gathering experts from the public and private sectors, to discuss innovation in transportation and impacts on the region.
Lunch and Learns
Seasonally, NVTA hosts InNoVAtion Lunch and Learn webinars designed to encourage information exchange about topics supported by NVTA’s Transportation Technology Strategic Plan (TTSP) that are feasible immediately or in the near future (1-5 years). Each session focuses on a chosen topic with a presentation from a subject matter expert in the field, followed by moderate questions and answers from the online participants.
