Support the Interstate 81 Corridor Improvement Program
and Fund the Bill


Interstate 81 is the longest highway in Virginia and a major economic corridor, yet it is in terrible shape. Every year, I-81 gets more congested, outdated and unsafe. We shouldn't stand for it anymore.
 
  • There are thousands of crashes on I-81 every year.
  • 26% of all crashes involve trucks.
  • Traffic volume on the highway is 50% more than what it was built to handle.

We depend on I-81 each day to deliver goods from Virginia's ports to the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Gulf Coast and Texas. And in Virginia alone, it connects more than 30 colleges and universities, 21 cities and 13 counties. 
Watch the video below to hear how I-81 affects Virginians every day.

About the Interstate 81 Corridor Improvement Fund Bill
Two bills (House Bill 2718 and Senate Bill 1716) are part of a long overdue plan to improve I-81. Recent polling proves that the majority of residents along the I-81 Corridor want to see the highway fixed, and want a solution now. The tolling was preferred over tax options since it focuses solely on those that use the highway. The bill also includes a proposed $30 annual pass for frequent I-81 travelers!

Fixing I-81 Could Bring Billions in Economic Activity 
A new study shows fixing I-81 would boost the local and statewide economy, create jobs, and funnel money into the communities along the route.
