In the comments section of one of our posts, someone asked whether former VDOT Commissioner Philip Shucet ever espoused any transportation reform other than raising taxes for more road projects. I alluded to a letter he had written to the General Assembly last October in which he recommended 10 reforms. I provide a copy of that letter now.
The General Assembly embraced the idea of adopting more design/build contracts in the 2006 session, and the Kaine administration has moved on “telecommuting” and developing “access managment plans” for major thoroughfares.
