                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

NORTHERN VIRGINIA TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT PROGRAM (§ 33.2-2401)

A. The General Assembly declares it to be in the public interest that the
economic development needs and economic growth potential of Northern Virginia be
addressed by a special transportation program to provide for the costs of
providing an adequate, modern, safe, and efficient transportation network in
Northern Virginia that shall be known as the Northern Virginia Transportation
District Program (the Program), including environmental and engineering studies,
rights-of-way acquisition, construction, improvements to all modes of
transportation, and financing costs. The Program consists of the projects listed
in clause (i) of subsection B of &#xA7; 33.2-2400.

B. Allocations to the Program from the Fund shall be made annually by the
Commonwealth Transportation Board for the creation and enhancement of a safe and
efficient transportation system connecting the communities, businesses, places
of employment, and residences of the Commonwealth, thereby enhancing the
economic development potential, employment opportunities, mobility, and quality
of life in the Commonwealth.

C. Except in the event that the Fund is insufficient to pay for the costs of the
Program, allocations to the Program shall not diminish or replace allocations
made from other sources or diminish allocations to which any district, system,
or locality would be entitled under other provisions of this title but shall be
supplemental to other allocations to the end that transportation improvements in
the Northern Virginia Transportation District may be accelerated and augmented.
Allocations under this subsection shall be limited to projects specified in
subdivision 12 of &#xA7; 33.2-1700.

D. The Commonwealth Transportation Board may expend such funds from all sources
as may be lawfully available to initiate the Program and to support bonds and
other obligations referenced in subsection E and in subsection D of &#xA7;
33.2-2400.

E. The Commonwealth Transportation Board is authorized to receive, dedicate, or
use (i) first from revenues received from the Fund; (ii) to the extent required,
funds available for distribution after providing for subsection A of &#xA7;
33.2-358; (iii) to the extent required, legally available revenues of the
Transportation Trust Fund; and (iv) such other funds that may be appropriated by
the General Assembly for the payment of bonds or other obligations, including
interest thereon, issued in furtherance of the Program. No such bond or other
obligations shall pledge the full faith and credit of the Commonwealth.
