According to The Daily Press, that's Plan B now that the General Assembly has failed to enact a roads plan. http://www.dailypress.com/news/local/dp-local_transit_0717jul17,0,4977485.story
It's about time! Even if the General Assembly had enacted a plan to build the 7 major road projects, as Virginia Beach Taxpayers Alliance Transportation Chairman Reid Greenmun is fond of pointing out, none of the MPO package covers secondary roads.
The cost-effective solution is mass transit. Bus service for a city for a year could be funded for about the same price as one medium-sized street project.
I certainly stand ready to do my part in enhancing Hampton Roads' mass transit system.

Count me in on helping out. 10:45 trips out of TCC could be here sooner :)
well i'm glad there's a plan b. i've always said they should just try to focus on mass transit or at least improving the bus routes.
Henry,
Light Rail is not always cost effective.
