Funding provided by the proposed sales tax increase will be limited to projects that:

Reduce, rather than increase, overall vehicle miles traveled and VMT per capita in Northern Virginia.

Provide for a level of Service (LOS) on existing congested highway corridors to at least LOS C.

Promote multiple-use centers with a mix of jobs, housing and services in a walkable environment.

Encourage development where it can be served by existing infrastructure including transportation, water and sewer, and police and fire.

Comply with all federal and state environmental laws including the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Transportation Efficiency Act for the 21st Century and the National Environmental Policy Act.

Are approved by the Metropolitan Washington Transportation Planning Board for incorporation into the regional Constrained Long-Range Plan and are modeled for compliance with Clean Air Act conformity requirements.

Selected projects cannot delay the attainment of clean and healthy air in Northern Virginia.

Promote protection of sensitive environmental, agricultural, scenic, cultural, and historical resources.

In addition, proposed projects will be evaluated against potentially more cost-effective alternatives that include demand reduction, traffic management, and alternative development patterns that reduce the need for costly new transportation capacity.
