Virginia’s SMART SCALE (§33.2-214.1) is about picking the right transportation projects for funding and ensuring the best use of limited tax dollars.

It is the method of scoring planned projects included in VTrans that are funded by House Bill 1887.

Transportation projects are scored based on an objective, outcome-based process that is transparent to the public and allows decision-makers to be held accountable to taxpayers.

Once projects are scored and prioritized, the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) has the best information possible to select the right projects for funding.

More information about the SMART SCALE project prioritization process, including a technical guide for applicants, is available at www.vasmartscale.org.
