On Wednesday, January 9, 2019, members of the Government Affairs Committee will meet with Jason Stanford, Executive Director of the Northern Virginia Transportation Alliance. The Committee invited Jason in order to learn more about the Alliance’s 2019 legislative and regional priorities, other transportation-related issues that could surface during the 2019 Virginia General Assembly session, and ideas on how to address transportation issues in our region.
Jason oversees the day-to-day operations of the Alliance, including long-term planning, transportation policy analysis, advocacy, and community outreach. The Alliance is committed to enhancing the quality of life in our region by improving its transportation infrastructure. For 25 years, Alliance research and outreach have helped drive regional transportation progress. The Alliance is focused on maintaining reliable funding sources and implementing a performance-based, multi-modal plan for the expansion of our transportation infrastructure while maintaining our current transportation investments.
