I. Introduction

The Town has identified the need to formulate and implement the use of a strategic Transportation Action Plan

that will enable local partners to secure funding that improves the safety of transportation systems and save

lives. Federal Highway Administration funding from the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program will

support more thorough crash analyses, active transportation remediation, identify high injury networks and

safety hot spots. The Town has partnered with the New River Valley Regional Commission to complete the

Transportation Action plan development. The selected A/E firm will collaborate with Town and New River

Valley Regional Commission (NRVRC) staff to develop systemic improvement actions and location

prioritization. Data analyses and conceptual design solutions will be utilized to support a robust public

engagement strategy that will include surveys, town halls, working groups, and stakeholder collaboration.

Who We Are

The Town of Christiansburg is tucked between the slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the winding path of

the New River in southwest Virginia. With our tight-knit community; numerous recreational, commercial and

cultural destinations; and proximity to higher education institutions, it's no wonder we are known as "the place

to be." Originally a concentration of taverns and rest stops along the Great Wilderness Road (now U.S Route

11), the 1.1 square mile town was established in 1792 and later incorporated in 1833. Christiansburg is now

more than 14 square miles and is the fourth largest town in Virginia with 22,505 residents (Source: Quick

Facts, U.S. Census Bureau). The Town serves as Montgomery County’s County seat and retail hub.

Christiansburg enjoys a mild climate, with an average high of 63.6° F and an average low of 42.8° F. In

addition to attracting students and young families, Christiansburg is a popular place to retire because of its low

cost of living. The median household income is $58,971.We are proud to provide our residents and visitors with

quality services and amenities, including the Christiansburg Recreation Center, to which all residents receive

free memberships; the Christiansburg Aquatic Center, a state-of-the-art aquatics facility; and the Huckleberry

Trail, a nine-mile paved path that connects Christiansburg with the neighboring town of Blacksburg. Our police,

fire and rescue departments are also consistently recognized for their excellence.

Christiansburg has always been a bustling center of commerce, and businesses continue to play a vital role in

our community. Between local restaurants and mom-and-pop antique shops, to brand-name stores and car

dealerships, there’s something for everyone here. The Town of Christiansburg is always interested in

opportunities to work with businesses to promote economic development and growth in Christiansburg.

TRANSPORTATION ACTION PLAN REQUIREMENTS:

As stated above, the strategic transportation action plan must meet U.S. DOT-Federal Highway Administration

standards as detailed in the latest SS4A Notice of Funding Opportunity. Adherence to these standards is

critical because the Town plans to apply for funding through this source and other funding opportunities for

safety improvement project funds in subsequent years. The development of the strategic transportation action

plan must:

• be data driven – using the best available incident history to support emphasis topics and hazardous

locations

• identify transportation safety issues, High Injury Networks, System Counter Measures, etc.

• prioritizes activities with benefit/cost to address the issues

• identify potential funding sources to implement the activities
