Exploring DRPT’s Open Data Portal and Interactive FY25 Six-Year Improvement Program
June 24, 2024 | 12pm-1pm
In early Spring, DRPT launched a new Open Data Portal to provide interactive and static data to our partners, the public, and other stakeholders interested in exploring rail and transit data. This presentation will highlight the variety of data products the Virginia
Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) has publicly available including statewide rail and transit performance data, SMART SCALE projects, and the FY25 Six-Year Improvement Program (SYIP). Built entirely in house using ArcGIS and PowerBI,
these tools will enable DRPT to better serve our partners and the public and serve as a model for open governance.
The Draft Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2030 Six Year Improvement Program (SYIP) allocates nearly $6.2 billion for public transportation and freight and passenger rail over the next six fiscal years. The
program is available on DRPT's Data Portal. For the 2025 Fiscal Year, DRPT’s draft Six-Year Improvement Program allocates $392 million to local and regional public transportation providers, $426 million to WMATA for its metro rail and metrobus services, $16 million for VRE’s operating and capital budget. For rail, $18 million is
budgeted for DRPT’s freight rail programs and $182 million for the Virginia Passenger Rail Authority to expand and sustain passenger rail in Virginia.
Speakers:
Taylor Holden – Rail Planning and Data Manager at the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation

DCR— Integrated Intergovernmental Flood Resilience Planning

DCR will also explain tools and products that it is developing to support local flood resilience planning, such as climate-informed flood models and public engagement tools.
