For Immediate Release
Fairfax County is seeking community feedback to help prioritize pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure projects for funding. The Fairfax County Department of Transportation (FCDOT) has developed a preliminary list of potential active transportation projects, such as crosswalk improvements and new sidewalks, and is seeking community input to prioritize which projects should receive funding.
In fall 2021, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors set a goal to identify and invest $100 million by 2027 to improve and expand active transportation infrastructure throughout the county. Last fall, the board approved an additional $25.43 million in one-time investment bringing the total amount contributed since 2021 to $82.12 million. These funds are intended to enhance safety, accessibility and connectivity for people walking, biking and using other forms of non-motorized transportation.
Members of the public are encouraged to review the preliminary list of potential projects for their districts and share feedback by participating in an online survey. District project lists, maps and surveys may be accessed on the Active Transportation Prioritization webpage. Survey submissions are due by 4:30 p.m., on Tuesday, March 31, 2026.
Additionally, FCDOT will host two virtual community meetings to review the methodology and criteria used to select eligible projects and to gather input from residents on local priorities. Meeting dates, times and joining instructions are listed below and meeting recordings will be posted on the Active Transportation Prioritization webpage within 24 hours of each meeting.
