Multimodal Planning Technical Assistance Program

Virginia Office of Intermodal Planning and Investment's (OIPI) Multimodal Planning Technical Assistance Program provides funding to develop implementable plans that advance community visions aligned with the vision, goals, and objectives established by the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) in the statewide transportation plan, VTrans. In addition, the program encourages intergovernmental cooperation, regional planning, public-private partnerships, and coalitions. This program accepts applications on a rolling basis; however, awards are based on funding availability. Eligible entities include:

OIPI provides several opportunities for technical assistance programs and seeks to minimize overlaps between programs. Therefore, technical assistance requests that qualify under Virginia Project Pipeline and the Growth and Accessibility Planning (GAP) Technical Assistance program may not be eligible. Jurisdictions considering this technical assistance program are encouraged to review those two programs first.

Applications for Technical Assistance requests can be submitted using this online application intake form. Please allow for two to four weeks for review.
