DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Stephen C. Brich, P.E 1401 East Broad Street (804) 786-2701
Commissioner Richmond, Virginia 23219 Fax: (804) 786-2940
December 20, 2021
The Honorable Governor Ralph S. Northam
Members of the Virginia General Assembly
Dear Governor Northam and Members of the General Assembly:
Section 33.2-1531 of the Code of Virginia directs the Commissioner of Highways to report
annually on the use of moneys in the Innovation and Technology Transportation Fund (ITTF).
This letter provides the information as required by the statute.
ITTF monies are to be used solely for the purpose of funding pilot programs and fully developed
initiatives pertaining to high-tech infrastructure improvements. “High-tech infrastructure
improvements” pertain to projects or programs that reduce congestion, improve mobility,
improve safety, provide up-to-date travel data, or improve emergency response.
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) developed a Transportation Technology
Plan that aligned its goals and technology strategies with the purpose of the monies allocated to
the ITTF. Projects utilizing ITTF monies originate from the Transportation Technology Plan.
The Transportation Technology Plan was developed to improve the efficiency, safety, and
convenience of all modes of transportation throughout the Commonwealth. This plan
incorporated recommendations from the VTrans 2040 needs assessment for the 12 corridors of
statewide significance and other VDOT planning documents. The eight technology strategies of
the Transportation Technology Plan are:
1. Enhance operations traffic management – to improve corridor efficiency through
active traffic management across multiple parallel freeways, arterial highways, and transit
systems.
2. Strengthen incident and emergency response – to detect, respond to, and clear
incidents on the roadway, which include collisions, disabled vehicles, weather events,
emergencies, and man-made disasters.

3. Support multimodal travel promotion – to increase multimodal travel by increasing
access and improving efficiency.
4. Manage arterials – to optimize the performance of arterial roadways through signal
operations improvements and performance monitoring.
5. Furnish traveler information – to provide real-time, multi-corridor, and multi-modal
travel information to enable pre-trip and in-route trip planning.
6. Support commercial vehicle/freight – to manage and support freight mobility.
7. Conduct emerging technology research – to promote the development of new
technologies to improve safety, convenience and efficiency of travel through connected
and autonomous vehicle technologies and bicycle/pedestrian programs.
8. Enhance enabling technology infrastructure – to promote future expansion and
resiliency of technologies by deploying and upgrading supporting communication and
utility services.
The current estimated total value of allocations for projects eligible for ITTF funding (“ITTF
Projects”) is approximately $146.7 million for Fiscal Years (FY) 2021-2026. In FY 2021,
approximately $41.7 million was allocated to the ITTF program. The attached tables provide
information concerning ITTF Projects that were allocated funding, incurred expenditures, and /or
are ongoing in FY 2021.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Cathy McGhee, Director of Research
and Innovation, at 804-916-9508 or me.
Sincerely,
Stephen C. Brich, P.E.
Commissioner of Highways
