Goal: $100 Million Funding Active Transportation Projects

In fall 2021, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors set a goal to identify and invest $100 million over a six-year period for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure improvements. The goal is to make walking and biking safe and accessible for everyone, especially near schools, parks, high-traffic areas and public transportation.

As of fall 2025, there have been three rounds of funding approved by the Board of Supervisors totaling $56.7 million - $44.4 million has been allocated to fund 77 new FCDOT capital projects through this initiative. 

The Fairfax County Department of Transportation has a process to determine which projects should receive funding. Input from the community is a key part of this process, helping decide which projects move forward.
