West Virginia DOTs new statewide long-range transportation plan will help position WVDOT and the multimodal system it manages to further support WVs economy, enhance quality of life, foster safe and reliable transportation options, and better connect WV residents and businesses to opportunities.

The WVDOT is conducting an update to its statewide multimodal long-range transportation plan to help guide future transportation policies and investments. The plan will provide a 30-year blueprint to fund and improve the preservation, management, and expansion of West Virginia’s multimodal transportation system. To build this blueprint, WVDOT will work with transportation stakeholders, coordinate with Federal partners, and seek input from West Virginia residents across five study phases throughout 2020 and 2021.
