Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1.  That § 15.2-2403.1 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 15.2-2403.1. Creation of urban transportation service districts.

A. The boundaries of any urban transportation service district created pursuant to this article shall be agreed upon by both the local governing body of an urban county or of a town and by the Commonwealth Transportation Board. The overall density of an urban transportation service district shall be one residential unit per gross acre or greater. In the event of a disagreement between the Board and the governing body of an urban county or of a town in regard to the boundaries of an urban transportation service district, the parties may request that the Commission on Local Government serve as a mediator. For purposes of this section, an "urban county" means any county with a population of greater than 90,000, according to the United States Census of 2000, that did not maintain its roads as of January 1, 2007.

B. Any urban county or town that has established an urban transportation service district in accordance with this section shall maintain the roads within such district. Any such county or town shall receive an amount equal to the per lane mile maintenance payments made to cities and certain towns pursuant to § 33.1-41.1 for the area within the district for purposes of road maintenance.
