The identified transportation needs may be addressed by projects, policies, or programs. Projects that address needs may become eligible for state funding under the SMART SCALE program and receive priority consideration in VDOT’s Revenue Sharing program. Similarly, Priority 1 locations established in VTrans become eligible for study funding for studies under the Project Pipeline program.</font><br /></font></p><p style="margin:0in; background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial;"><font size="3"><font face="Arial, sans-serif"><br /></font></font></p><p style="margin:0in; background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial;"><font size="3">The Policy for the Identification of VTrans Mid-term Needs establishes multimodal need categories that correspond to the Board-adopted VTrans Vision, Goals, and Objectives.
