| notes:
Establishes the Rail Transportation Development Authority. The Authority is to be responsible for identifying needed construction, reconstruction, improvements, or repairs to railroads and their facilities and equipment. The Authority is given the power to finance or assist in financing any such rail transportation project. The bill requires the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation, in conjunction with the Authority, to develop a rail transportation plan for the Commonwealth. The bill further abolishes the Rail Advisory Board and repeals Chapter 1041 of the 2003 Acts of Assembly, which provided for the creation of a Rail Transportation Development Authority, but never became effective, because it included a reenactment clause, and the act was not reenacted. |
| SJ 83 - Cuccinelli - Constitutional amendment; Transportation Trust Fund, continued (first reference). |
(S) Committee on Privileges and Elections | (S) Left in Privileges and Elections | 12/11/06 |

Requests the Department of Rail and Public Transportation to study mass transit options and potential improvements for Northern Virginia. |
