REVIEWED BY: Jeffrey B. Richardson
BACKGROUND: The Virginia Department of Transportation’s (VDOT) Revenue Sharing program provides up to $10 million in state funding for local projects over the lifetime of the project. Successful Revenue Sharing applications require a 50% local match. Project costs that exceed $20 million are the responsibility of the locality.
Revenue Sharing project applications are sorted into one of four priority levels, with Priority 1 projects being most likely to receive funding. Priority 1 projects are those that have received funding in a previous round of Revenue Sharing.
VDOT accepts Revenue Sharing project applications in odd-numbered years. Pre-applications are submitted in June and final applications are submitted in early October. For each round of Revenue Sharing, a locality may request a total equal to or less than $10 million in state funds for any number of projects.
STRATEGIC PLAN: Infrastructure & Placemaking - Invest in infrastructure and amenities that create connection, opportunity, and well-being.
DISCUSSION: Albemarle County submitted two Revenue Sharing pre-applications in June 2025, requesting over $5 million in state funds.
The first is the Hydraulic Road Improvements Project from Lambs Lane to Georgetown Road. This project includes a shared-use path along the west side of Hydraulic and intersection improvements at Georgetown Road and Georgetown Green, which will be converted to a Green-T intersection, and the Albemarle High School entrance and Lambs Road. This is a new project with a Priority 2 designation and it is identified in the CIP. The estimated cost for this project is $4.6 million. The second project is the Berkmar Drive shared-use path, which extends the shared-use path on Berkmar Drive from Hilton Heights Road to Woodbrook Drive. This project is a partially funded Priority 1 Revenue Sharing project that has seen cost overruns. Albemarle County is requesting $736,016 in state funds to make up the funding gap.
The Board of Supervisors must provide Resolutions of Support for the two pre-applications to be submitted as final applications.
BUDGET IMPACT: Successful Revenue Sharing applications require a 50% local match. If both project applications are awarded funding, the Transportation Leveraging Fund has sufficient funding to allow Albemarle County to meet its match obligations.
