CVTA TAC recommends FY23 certifications and FY24 local allocation plan, adopts regional project cycle and refers spend-down plans to finance
Summary
The Central Virginia Transportation Authority Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) recommended approval of the FY23 annual certifications and the FY24 local allocation plan, approved the regional project cycle schedule and referred existing project spend‑down schedules to the CVTA finance committee.
The Central Virginia Transportation Authority Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) recommended approval of the fiscal year 2023 annual certifications and the fiscal year 2024 local allocation plan, approved the regional project cycle schedule to guide the round‑3 application process, and voted to refer existing project spend‑down plans to the CVTA finance committee.
The FY23 annual certification packet, presented by CVTA staff member Chet, contained signed certifications from each jurisdiction. Chet said the packet “has a signed copy from each jurisdiction of the certification” and confirmed receipt of all nine required signatures. TAC members moved and seconded the recommendation to forward the certification to the full authority for final action; the TAC handled the item by voice vote and advanced the recommendation.
TAC also reviewed the FY24 local allocation plan, a planning‑level projection that lists how each member jurisdiction expects to use its CVTA local funds in FY24. Chet described the plan as a “planning level guideline” covering project‑specific costs, program costs and staffing costs and said jurisdictions may update the projections during the year. Members requested corrections from Goochland and New Kent to reconcile those counties’ project lists with recent jurisdictional submissions. After those corrections were requested and confirmed, TAC recommended the FY24 local allocation plan to the full authority by voice vote.
On the regional project cycle, Chet presented a one‑page timeline that breaks the round‑3 application process into submission, screening and scoring, prioritization and public review. Chet said applications were expected by the upcoming deadline and that scoring would include travel‑demand modeling and GIS scoring. TAC voted to recommend the project cycle schedule for approval by the authority so staff and reviewers can use it to manage the round‑3 timetable.
TAC also voted to refer the current allocation spend‑down schedules for projects that have already received regional awards to the CVTA finance committee. The referral was intended to let finance staff and advisors review the projected cash flow and consider financing strategies (including bonding) based on the region’s aggregate future needs.

Context and next steps: TAC asked jurisdictions to submit any outstanding corrections and requested that jurisdictions upload PDFs of applications to the shared Site when the web form does not accept values. TAC set a scheduling expectation for jurisdictions to provide “wish‑list” items and updated spend‑down estimates; staff indicated an internal target to gather vision/wish‑list inputs by October 9 so the item may be discussed at the October TAC meeting. The certification and allocation plan recommendations will be placed on the agenda for the next full authority meeting for final action.
Less critical details: staff will follow up with jurisdictions that reported upload errors on the online application and will circulate the consolidated cash‑flow spreadsheet to CVTA finance staff for initial analysis.
