Albemarle and Charlottesville Get New Transit Projects

Virginia’s Six-Year Improvement Program just added 11 new transportation projects to Albemarle County and Charlottesville — bringing their totals to 61 and 23 respectively — but local leaders are sounding the alarm as funding tightens and competition heats up. With over 4,300 projects statewide spanning 2027–2032, the program includes everything from road expansions and bridge repairs to pedestrian safety upgrades and resurfacing. Yet, fewer projects are getting approved under competitive programs like Smart Scale, while costs rise — leaving communities scrambling to secure state dollars amid a shifting funding landscape.
