BT's TDP update

As an update, if anyone is reading, the 2019-2028 Blacksburg TDP final report was finalized in September 2018. Since that time we drafted a 2/5/19 summary agenda memo, and the TDP was formally adopted by Resolution 2-B-10 by the Town of Blacksburg Town Council on February 12, 2019, as is required by DRPT. During my 1/11/20 bus ride to the TRB conference, I worked on a draft of a required annual update letter. On 1/15/20 at 5:09 pm, it was emailed to Wood Hudson, a Statewide Transit Planner at DRPT, by our director.

Development of Transit Development Plans (TDPs) for BT, RT, & PAT

An RFP went out the week of 4/10/17 for 21 days for a single consultant to conduct 3 separate TDPs for the MPO region. Proposal deadline was 5/2, and DRPT (Katie Schwing/Statewide Transit Planner and Nick Britton/Senior Statewide Transit Planner) has tentatively discussed a 5/18 meeting locally to have a final discussion on the selected consultant group, possibly after the 10 am 5/18 MPO TAC meeting.
  • A TDP review committee will consist of reps from the MPO, BT, RT, PAT, including Erik Olsen, Melissa Skelton, and another rep., with input from Dan Brugh
  • The effort should launch by summer with survey efforts in early fall, and the final report completed before the end of 2017.
