Two-Year Transportation Program

The Two-Year Transportation Program is a City of Fairfax planning and funding mechanism that identifies and prioritizes transportation projects for advancement through feasibility study, design, and construction. The current cycle (FY25-26) was introduced at the October 8, 2024 City Council meeting, reviewed during a work session on February 18, 2025, and formally adopted by City Council on February 25, 2025. The adopted FY25-26 program includes five projects: an evaluation of Fairfax Circle, bike route wayfinding, improvements at the intersection of Main Street and Lindhurst Drive, improvements on the north side of the Vienna Metro Station, and a sidewalk feasibility study at Rust Road and Westmore Drive. The program serves as a critical stepping stone between long-range planning documents (such as small area plans and the bicycle master plan) and the Capital Improvement Program (CIP), with several projects now progressing into design and construction phases — including the Government Center Parkway connection (underway as of July 2025 and expected complete by early 2026) and the Camp Washington multimodal connectivity project (in design public hearing as of January 2026). A project first included in the FY22 program — related to multimodal connectivity along Fairfax Boulevard (George Snyder trail area) — received FY26 funding but has had no work completed as of May 2026 and is under consideration for a scope modification.

Open questions

• A scope modification to the Fairfax Boulevard multimodal connectivity project (originally in the FY22 Two-Year Transportation Program, funded in FY26) was under active consideration as of May 26, 2026 — the outcome of that modification decision is not yet recorded.
• No projects were identified in the Fairfax Circle Activity Center in the CIP as of late 2025; only an intersection analysis of Fairfax Circle was included in the Two-Year Transportation Program — further planning or CIP inclusion for this area remains an open step.
• The next cycle of the Two-Year Transportation Program (beyond FY25-26) has not yet been introduced or described in the record.
