HB2313 Overview

What does HB2313 mean for Virginia?

Passed in 2013, HB2313 is the largest transportation funding bill in the history of the Commonwealth. Prior to HB2313, Virginia faced a true transportation funding crisis.

More than two years later, we’ve seen numerous positive impacts from the bill including two new pieces of legislation, HB2 and HB1887. However, while transportation funding is greater, it cannot be checked off the list as a problem solved. We must continue to advocate for transportation funding so that travel through congested areas can be smoother and also so rural towns across the Commonwealth have the proper infrastructure for economic development, accessibility and safety. So while HB2313 is not a cure-all, it is the boost Virginia’s transportation network needed.

What do I need to know?

  • In 2012, before HB2313 passed, hundreds of miles of roadways and bridges across the Commonwealth were failing or not up to standard.
  • More than $2 billion is now allocated every year specifically for transportation needs.
  • Hampton Roads and Northern Virginia receive an additional half billion dollars per year that’s designated for transportation construction in those areas.
  • Less money is being transferred from construction funds to cover the cost of maintenance for projects that need repair.
