Summary

Commonwealth Transportation Board representative reported SmartScale pre‑application counts for round 7; Richmond submitted 82 pre‑applications, about double other districts, raising competition for limited state funding.

At the April 8 finance committee meeting, Commonwealth Transportation Board representative Mister Davis reported statewide SmartScale pre‑application totals for round 7 and highlighted that the Richmond district submitted 82 pre‑applications, substantially more than most other districts.

Davis ran through district totals: Bristol 15; Culpeper 22; Fredericksburg 40; Hampton Roads 36; Lynchburg 23; Northern Virginia 39; Salem 43; Staunton 33; Richmond 82. "Richmond, 82. Yes. Twice the number twice the number of all the other districts," Davis said, noting the district’s high submission count could increase competition for available CVTA and state SmartScale funds.

Committee members noted the higher pre‑application volume and expressed hope that a significant share would convert to formal applications and funded projects. Davis also flagged that other districts will compete for limited funds and referenced prior spending of HPP funds in the Richmond district as context for round 7 competition.

What’s next: Staff and members will monitor which pre‑applications advance to full applications and work to align CVTA support where appropriate during the application period.
