On August 1, applicants in our region submitted 18 SMART SCALE applications for multimodal transportation projects. The CSPDC, HRMPO and SAWMPO, the cities of Harrisonburg and Waynesboro, and Augusta and Rockingham Counties submitted projects ranging from new sidewalk construction to interstate interchange improvements. VDOT will announce application awards in early 2023.
SMART SCALE is VDOT’s main competitive grant funding program that evaluates and scores projects based on how projects improve safety, reduce congestion, increase accessibility, contribute to economic development, promote efficient land use, and affect the environment.
