Transportation Strategic Goal (2004-08)
The County will encourage and
facilitate multi-modal transportation that
gets people to jobs, improves safety,
alleviates congestion, reduces travel time,
supports and encourages economic
development and is environmentally
sensitive and pedestrian-friendly.

Background
 Prince William County started its road building program in
1988.
 The County has been successful in getting six voter approved
bond programs for roadway improvements in 1988, 1990,
1994, 1998, 2002, and 2006.
 The Prince William County Parkway was the first major road
completed by the local road bond program in 1994.
 The Board of County Supervisors continues to consider
transportation as one of the top strategic goals.
 The County has built approximately $500 million worth of
road and bicycle/pedestrian improvements in the past 20 years.

Innovative Project Delivery
Private-Public Transportation Act
 The County is currently using the
Private-Public Transportation Act
(PPTA) as a design-build
procurement method to build six
different roads under two contracts;
 Sudley Manor Drive (including Linton
Hall Road)
 Route 15 (including Heathcote Blvd.,
Old Carolina Rd., and Waterfall Rd.)
 PPTAs allow for 1-2 years time
savings and may involve some risk
taken by the private entity.

Innovative Project Delivery
Partnering with VDOT
 The County has partnered with
VDOT administering both State
and Federally funded projects,
including:
 Route 1/234 Commuter Lot
 Marine Corps Museum Access
Improvements
 Linton Hall Road
 Federal requirements may add time
and cost to project, but PWC is
prepared to administer these types
of projects with its staff.

Innovative Project Delivery
 Additional innovative project delivery methods the County has
used to design and/or complete road projects include:
 Creating Transportation Taxing Districts
Route 234 Bypass
Prince William County Parkway
 Using Virginia Resource Authority (VRA) Bonding
Linton Hall Road
 Developer built roads (proffers)

Current Funding Challenges
 Local budget does not allow for additional debt service to
complete all 2006 bond projects.
 State funding for transportation is slated to be cut for the
current fiscal year by 20% and in the next fiscal year by 45%.
 The Federal government will need to re-authorize SAFETEA-
LU in FY2010, after being $8 billion short in FY2009.
 The Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA) lost
$1.5 billion in regional/local transportation funding from
HB3202, with the February 2008 Supreme Court decision
declaring its taxing authority unconstitutional.

Citizen Satisfaction with Ease of Getting Around Prince William County shows that as road
bond projects have been completed, citizen satisfaction has increased.
If funding becomes available, now is the right time to build as construction cost are decreasing
Over the last two decades PWC has had the most robust transportation program of any locality
in the Commonwealth. We will continue to seek funding to keep up momentum.
