NVTA Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Action Plan
The NVTA Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Action Plan is a regional transportation initiative developed by the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA) that includes the City of Fairfax as a proposed corridor participant.
The plan first came before the City Council on June 24, 2025, when Councilmember Peterson briefed the Council that the NVTA Planning Coordination Advisory Committee was scheduled to vote on endorsing the BRT Action Plan the following day, June 25, 2025; no Council action was taken at that meeting. Approximately one year later, on June 23, 2026, NVTA CEO Monica Backmon delivered a formal presentation on the BRT Action Plan directly to the City Council, representing a deeper engagement with the topic. The matter remains informational at the Council level, with no recorded Council vote or formal action taken to date.
