HRTAC

HRTAC Management of Hampton Roads Regional Transportation Funds On March 8, 2014, the General Assembly adopted HB1253/SB513, which provides for the creation of the Hampton Roads Transportation Accountability Commission (HRTAC) in order to manage the Hampton Roads Transportation Fund (HRTF) revenues for the Hampton Roads region.

Signed into law on April 3, 2014 by Governor Terry McAuliffe, the HRTAC became effective on July 1, 2014. Comprised of locally elected officials, the commission has the organizational structure and leadership in place to determine how new regional money - approximately $200 million annually - will be invested in transportation projects. The new funding is part of the transportation funding package passed by the General Assembly last year. The 23-member commission consists of mayors from local governments, state legislators from the region and area Commonwealth Transportation Board members. Decisions are based on a two-thirds majority vote of elected officials on the commission, representing at least two-thirds of the region’s population.
