Our region will grow and become increasingly diverse over the next 30 years, and our challenge is to maintain and enhance the region’s quality of life as we prepare for that growth. Everyone has a stake in our region. If you live or work in RVA, your perspective can help us formulate what it will take to maintain a high quality of life in the years to come.

We'll help put your ideas into action.

  • Public Participation on issues related to major planning efforts help to ensure that our work reflects the diverse thoughts and interests of citizens in our region. There are opportunities throughout the year to get involved in shaping regional plans and programs.
  • In Transportation, our Public Engagement Plan (PEP) is a high level framework for how we'll engage with the public. Specific plans will have their own activities.
