4. Background of VTrans2025
In 2002 the Virginia General Assembly passed a bill calling for the development of a statewide multimodal long-range transportation plan
The purpose of VTrans2025 is to create a more efficient and better transportation system in Virginia by planning twenty years in the future

17. Accomplishments
Our work to help define, facilitate, and develop the MIN development and prioritization process included:
Define the MIN development and prioritization process
Modeling of web interfaces to help facilitate the process
Testing of the prioritization system prototype using example MINs
