The Commuter Choice program, administered by the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission (NVTC), reinvests toll revenues from two principal expressway corridors in the Northern Virginia portion of the Washington, DC metropolitan area into transit improvements and other multimodal transportation enhancements that expand commuters’ travel options and support corridor mobility goals. This presentation will address:

• How the program operates, the public-private and state-regional-local partnerships involved, the program’s rigorous performance management framework and how NVTC ensures that the program delivers maximum value to toll payers.
• How to invest toll revenues defensibly into non-roadway projects
• The partnerships critical to the success of a competitive transportation grant program funded through toll revenues
• Necessity of rigorous performance analysis and program transparency
