Educational Discussion:  Shenandoah County Public Transportation Feasibility Discussion

            Background and preparation: The Northern Shenandoah Valley Regional Commission (NSVRC), together with the Shenandoah County Chamber of Commerce, Shenandoah County Government, and several towns within the County, are studying the feasibility of implementing a new public      transportation service for Shenandoah County residents.  

            KFH Group, the transportation planning firm, will be with us to discuss the work plans and get your input as an important stakeholder.

            The month of October has been targeted for the completion of the community surveys, employer surveys, and stakeholder input. A community survey is available at the following link:

 Topics of discussion will include:

  • Is the lack of public transportation options a barrier for Shenandoah County residents to access jobs, appointments, shopping, and other life activities?

·         If yes, what do you think the primary focus for a new public transportation service should be?

·         Which of the following corridors are the most important to consider for public transportation service:

            _____ U.S. Route 11 between New Market and Strasburg, serving Mount Jackson,  Edinburg, Woodstock, Maurertown, Toms Brook, and Strasburg

            _____ VA 263 between Mount Jackson and Bryce

            _____ VA 42  between Woodstock and Basye

             _____ Route 55 / US 48 in Northern Shenandoah County
