CUE Transit Development Plan (TDP)

Summary

The CUE Transit Development Plan (TDP) is a planning project for the City of Alexandria's CUE Bus transit system, funded through a combination of regional and federal/state/local sources. The project was initiated when the City Council unanimously approved a $650,000 FY 2025 Fall Supplemental Appropriation Resolution on November 12, 2024, which included $50,000 from NVTA 30% funds allocated to the CUE TDP; the public hearing for that appropriation was set for December 10, 2024. The City Council held a dedicated work session discussion on the TDP on March 4, 2025, with no formal action taken, and received a staff update at a second work session on October 7, 2025. Most recently, at the June 2, 2026 work session, Budget Director Gwen Riddle presented a $1,815,512 supplemental appropriation resolution that included an additional $22,964 in NVTC funds to true-up the funding needed to complete the CUE TDP project; no Council action was taken at that session. The project remains in progress, with the supplemental appropriation resolution pending formal Council action.
