CUE Transit Development Plan (TDP)

The CUE Transit Development Plan (TDP) is a planning project for the City's CUE (City University Express) transit system. The City Council first discussed the TDP during a work session on March 4, 2025, with no formal action taken at that time. A follow-up staff update was presented during another work session on October 7, 2025, again without a vote or formal action. During a work session on June 2, 2026, Budget Director Gwen Riddle presented a supplemental appropriation resolution that included Northern Virginia Transportation Commission (NVTC) funds received for the CUE Bus Transit Development Plan Update to true-up funding needed to complete the project; no formal Council action was taken at that work session. The project appears to be in an ongoing planning and review phase, with Council being kept informed through periodic work session updates.
