Council was briefed on HB1241 (creating an infrastructure coordination and readiness framework) and HJ28 (establishing a two-year Hampton Roads regional transit study covering three transit agencies including Suffolk Transit); staff recommended supporting the PDC-coordinated efforts and the transit study to inform potential 2028 funding solutions.

Mindy Carlin asked the council to support regional efforts to coordinate transportation and transit funding. She told council HB1241 created a Hampton Roads infrastructure coordination and readiness framework directing the PDC to identify and sequence unfunded regional flooding needs but noted no state funding accompanied that directive. "There were 2 pieces of legislation that were advanced. 1 was HB 12 41, which created the Hampton Roads infrastructure coordination and readiness framework," Carlin said.
