OVERVIEW OF REGION Description and Function of the Cumberland Plateau Planning District Commission The CPPDC serves the counties of Buchanan, Dickenson, Russell, and Tazewell and the towns of Bluefield, Cedar Bluff, Richlands, Tazewell, Pocahontas, Lebanon, Cleveland, Honaker, Clintwood, Clinchco, Haysi, and Grundy. The Cumberland Plateau region is located in the southwest corner of Virginia and lies on the borders of Kentucky and West Virginia. The District borders West Virginia on the north and Kentucky on the north west. Wise, Scott, Washington, Smyth and Bland Counties in Virginia form the boundaries on the west, south, and east. The District is 67 miles long and 40 miles wide and covers approximately 1,848 square miles. The District is divided into two physiographically distinct regions, both lying in the Appalachian Highlands. The counties of Buchanan and Dickenson, along with the northern portions of Russell and Tazewell Counties, lie in the Cumberland Plateau which is, in turn, a part of the Appalachian Plateau. This area has a uniformly mountainous surface characterized by many small streams separated by sharply rising ridges, steep slopes, and narrow valleys. The remaining region of the District, comprising the greater portion of Russell and Tazewell Counties, lies in the Valley and Ridge Province of the Appalachian Highlands. This belt, consisting of alternate valleys and ridges is bordered on the south by the Clinch Mountains and on the north by the Cumberland Plateau. Elevations vary from 845 feet above sea level where the Levisa Fork crosses into Kentucky to 4,705 feet atop Garden Mountain in the southeastern part of the District near the Bland County line. The most prominent physiographic features in the District are Clinch Mountain, Breaks of the Cumberland, Burkes Garden, Big A Mountain, and Pine Mountain. Comparatively smooth to moderately sloping uplands are found in places in the southern and southeastern portions of the District. The northern and northwestern portions of the District are areas that have been thoroughly dissected by streams, with the result that the land features consist of steep ridges and narrow valleys. There is practically no smooth upland or lowland in this area. The southern section of the District lies in the Clinch River Basin. The northern portion of the District lies in the Big Sandy River Basin. Numerous creeks and branches in all parts of the district afford a good drainage system for the upland areas. The only poorly drained areas are in the flat, low places near some of the streams. Approximately 80 percent of the District in the Cumberland Plateau region is covered by forest. The portion of the District that lies in the ridge and valley province is approximately 50 percent forest cover and 50 percent grass and pasture land.

Summary of Transportation Network I-77 and I-81 pass east and southeast of the region within the ridge and valley system. The transportation network is largely influenced by the ridges and valleys that generally travel northeast to southwest; many of the primary arterials also run in this direction, including US 460, VA 61, VA 67, VA 71, and VA 83. Corridors that provide connections to the north and south include US 19, Alternate US 58, VA 16, VA 63, and VA 80. Four County Transit is the public transit agency that serves the CPPDC. There are no commercial airports in the region and two general aviation airports. Within the CPPDC, there are two rail carriers, Norfolk Southern and CSX. There are seven official VDOT maintained park and ride lots within the region. Passenger rail is currently not available in the region. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Needs were developed based on regional and statewide goals and objectives. Similar concepts within the goals of the PDC were found and used to shape common regional long range plan goals to address rural transportation planning across the Commonwealth. A basic goal for all transportation programs in Virginia is the provision for the effective, safe, and efficient movement of people and goods. This plan has this primary goal in mind, along with other goals including consideration for environmental issues and local travel desires. The PDC developed transportation goals and objectives that were used to guide the development of the Regional Long Range Transportation Plan for the area. Rural transportation planning in the CPPDC is guided by a transportation technical committee. This transportation committee reviewed the needs of the region and formulated goals: GOAL 1: Provide a transportation system that facilitates the efficient movement of people and goods. GOAL 2: Provide a safe and secure transportation system. GOAL 3: Improve CPPDC’s economic vitality and provide access to economic opportunities for all District businesses and residents. GOAL 4: Improve quality of life and minimize potential impacts to the environment. GOAL 5: Preserve the existing transportation system and promote efficient system management. COMMON GOALS AND OBJECTIVES In addition to the regional goals, a number of goals have been developed to address rural Transportation planning across the Commonwealth. These were developed using input from each of the 21 PDCs in Virginia that include rural areas within their boundaries. These goals are Consistent with those of VTrans : Summary of Transportation Network 1-77 and 1-81 pass east and southeast of the region within the ridge and valley system.

These were developed using input from each of the 21 PDCs in Virginia that include rural areas within their boundaries. These goals are Consistent with those of VTrans : GOAL 1: Enhance the connectivity of the existing transportation network within and between regions across all modes for both people and freight. GOAL 2: Provide a safe and secure transportation system. GOAL 3: Support and improve the economic vitality of the individual regions by providing access to economic opportunities, such as industrial access or recreational travel and tourism, as well as enhancing intermodal connectivity. GOAL 4: Ensure continued quality of life during project development and implementation by Considering natural, historic, and community environments, including special populations. GOAL 5: Preserve the existing transportation network and promote efficient system management in order to promote access and mobility for both people and freight. GOAL 6: Encourage land use and transportation coordination, including but not limited to, development of procedures or mechanisms to incorporate all modes, while engaging the private sector. DEMOGRAPHICS AND LAND USE TRENDS Relationship of Land Use and Development to Transportation Rural counties throughout the Commonwealth and in the Cumberland Plateau region are working either to seek new economic growth and diversification or to balance growth, while striving to preserve the rural character of the landscape. Most of the land in these counties is in agricultural or forested use, with more intensive land use in the towns and village centers, typically at the intersection of two roadways. There is a broad spectrum of the amount of growth and land use changes occurring throughout the Commonwealth, based particularly on proximity to urban areas. In the CPPDC, the nearest urban areas are Bristol, Virginia and Kingsport, Tennessee, which have not had a large influence on the land use and development in the region. Many of the rural counties throughout the Commonwealth are trying to direct new growth towards existing towns, village centers, or service districts in order to provide services and to continue to address the needs of residents as well as maintain a general agricultural setting. As the population fluctuates, either through in-or out-migration or shifting within the region, the needs of the communities including education, health care, social services, employment, and transportation - shift and fluctuate as well. Land use and development changes that particularly affect transportation in rural areas include, but are not limited to, school consolidation, loss or gain of a major employer, movement of younger sectors of the population to more urban areas, retirement community development, and growth of bedroom-community type developments for nearby urban areas.

Land use in the Cumberland Plateau region has not changed dramatically. Due to the steep slopes throughout most of the region, development has almost exclusively concentrated in the valleys. Population changes have not been remarkable enough in the region to prompt major changes in growth and development. All development is expected to remain along the valley floors and the major roadways: primarily US 19 and US 460. This trend will affect future land use in the counties and could intensify travel demand on the regional roadway network. POPULATION TRENDS The CPPDC region has experienced a general decline in population since 1990. Between 2010 and 2020, the population in the District decreased 13.20 percent, declining from 113,976 to 100,689. The lowest decline rates were recorded in Russell and Tazewell Counties (-12.09 and -11.05 percent, respectively), followed by Dickenson with -12.60 percent and Buchanan with –18.39 percent population decline. Buchanan County's 18.39 percent population decline was the largest experienced among the four counties. Projections by the Virginia Employment Commission indicate that the population in Tazewell County will increase slightly through 2040. However, population will continue to decline in Buchanan, Dickenson and Russell counties. Population trends have implications for the transportation network of any geographic area. Improvements to the network are needed because mobility and safety are affected by increases in population. In the case of the Cumberland Plateau, the effects of population changes on the transportation network can be exacerbated by the topographic constraints within the region.

Disadvantaged groups studied include the elderly, persons with disabilities, persons with low-income, and minorities, as defined by the US Census. In the 2020 US Census, all of the jurisdictions had a minority population percentage lower than that of the state (33.5 percent). In 2020, all jurisdictions had low-income populations above the state percentage of 10.0 percent. The portion of the population with disabilities in all jurisdictions is above the state percentage of 11.8 percent. All of the jurisdictions also have elderly populations in a higher proportion than the state in 2020 (15.6 percent). TRANSPORTATION IMPLICATIONS US Census data from 2020 was reviewed at the block-group level in order to provide enough detail to assess possible areas of service expansion for fixed route and demand-responsive transit. Any segment of the population without a vehicle available, which can include elderly, people with disabilities, and low-income groups, is more dependent on demand responsive transit in a rural area than an urban area. This is due to the smaller network of fixed transit routes in rural areas when compared to urban areas. The CPPDC, in conjunction with the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation’s (DRPT) statewide effort, completed a Coordinated Human Service Mobility (CHSM) Plan that assessed the mobility needs of these target populations. Certain needs were identified throughout the state, such as limited demand- responsive transit service, limited fixed-route service and determination of a single point of contact for providers. Some of these needs were also identified in the Cumberland Plateau, along with funding constraints.

The transportation network is largely influenced by the ridges and valleys that generally run from the northeast to southwest; many of the primary arterials also run in this direction. Primary corridors running northeast to southwest include US 460, VA 61, VA 67, VA 71, and VA 83. Corridors that provide connections to the north and south include US 19, Alternate US 58, VA 16, VA 63, and VA 80. US 460 turns northwest to cut through the ridge and valley system at Richlands. Roadway Classifications The Cumberland Plateau PDC road network is classified by VDOT as principal or minor arterials, major or minor collectors and other freeways and expressways and local. Arterials are intended to emphasize mobility, the efficiency by which traffic can move. Collectors are intended to emphasize access, connecting different uses along the route. Functional classifications are used for the purpose of funding, design, determining statewide network for the State Highway Needs Assessment Study, and to help establish construction priorities.

Public Transportation Public transportation includes public transit, both fixed-route and demand-responsive, volunteer transportation, and private providers. Four County Transit is the primary transit agency in the CPPDC. It is provided by the Appalachian Agency for Senior Citizens (AASC), the region’s area agency on aging. Multiple fixed routes are currently available in each county during the week as well as demand-responsive transit. The Work Express Routes operate along US 19 and VA 71 and connect to other routes and three park and ride lots. The fixed routes also serve two adult day facilities and eight nutrition sites operated by the AASC. An additional connection to other transit service is the Veterans Transport to Veteran’s Administration Hospitals and other medical facilities outside of the region. Riders can contact District Three Governmental Cooperative in the Mount Rogers PDC to arrange transportation on the Wytheville to Tri-Cities route or the Bristol to Roanoke route. Riders then contact Four County Transit to coordinate their transfer. There is an additional transit system in the region, Graham Transit, which is operated by the Town of Bluefield and has three fixed routes. In addition, connections are available through both transit agencies to Bluefield Area Transit in Bluefield, West Virginia. According to the Virginia Transit Association, ridership on Four County Transit is 156,000+ trips.

The nearest commercial airports are Roanoke Regional Airport, 120 miles east, and Tri-Cities Regional, 40 miles south of the southern portion of the region. There are two general aviation airports in the region, Tazewell County Airport in Cedar Bluff and Grundy Municipal Airport, just west of Grundy. Travel Demand Management Travel Demand Management (TDM) holds the potential for enhancing many elements of the transportation network, and with other improvements, has been shown to greatly aid in reducing single-occupant vehicle trips. TDM measures include carpooling and vanpooling programs, expanded peak hour public transit, commuter buses, park and ride lots, as well as better coordination between modes to facilitate intermodal transfers. While low population densities in rural areas are not always conducive to major shifts to mass transit, gains in mass transit ridership for commuters can sometimes be realized.

According to the 2020 US Census, workers traveling outside their county of residence for employment ranged from 20% in Buchanan County, 34% in Dickenson County, 38% in Russell County and 32% in Tazewell County. These workers are targets for travel demand management strategies already in place as discussed above in public transportation. Additional commuter oriented pieces of the transportation network in the region include park and ride lots. There are seven VDOT maintained park and ride lots. There is no commuter or passenger rail service available in the region. Goods Movement The majority of goods movement in the region, other than coal, is by truck and utilizes US 19, Alternate US 58, US 460, VA 80, and VA 83. The majority of freight moving through the region is coal via the rail network. Due to the topography of the area and its current economic development, the goods movement in the region that is currently via truck is not expected to shift to rail. is some concentration of employment destinations in the towns.

The majority of freight moving through the region is coal via the rail network. Due to the topography of the area and its current economic development, the goods movement in the region that is currently via truck is not expected to shift to rail. There are numerous rail lines within the area. They currently only carry freight as there is no Amtrak service in the region. The rail lines are owned by Norfolk Southern and by CSX. The Norfolk Southern lines are a part of the company’s Coal Corridor. The corridor carries most of the Virginia coal (90%) shipped to the port of Hampton Roads (DRPT, Virginia, 2022). The CSX lines are a part of the Coal Corridor of CSX which terminates in Newport News, Virginia. Land Use The land use/land cover in the Cumberland Plateau is generally forested, rural residential, and surface mined, with slightly more dense residential and commercial uses centered around the existing towns. Land use has been influenced primarily by the topography. Steep slopes have discouraged development in favor of stream beds and valleys where roads are located. However, flooding potential has also constrained development. Growth areas and activity centers are within the existing towns and have not changed dramatically in recent years. The location and extent of land use and development throughout the region is reviewed as a part of traffic analysis. Changes in existing land use and geographic shifts of land use and development can have a long- term effect on traffic forecasts and demand on the transportation network.

VDOT PROGRAMS AND FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES SMART SCALE The SMART SCALE funding process assesses transportation applications on a statewide level, considering factors such as congestion, safety, environmental impact, accessibility, and economic development. The allocation of funds for project prioritization follows two primary routes: the District Grant Program (DGP) for construction and the High-Priority Projects Program (HPPP). The District Grant Program (DGP) is accessible to localities, with competing projects emerging within the same construction district. On the other hand, the High-Priority Projects Program (HPPP) involves competition among projects spanning the entire Commonwealth. Applications for funding are expected in the autumn of each even-numbered year. These funds, after approval by the CTB (Commonwealth Transportation Board), are granted during odd- numbered years. The projects selected receive funding through inclusion in the Six Year Improvement Plan, either as a VDOT High Priority Project (categories #1 and #2) or via the Construction District Grant Program (all categories). SMART SCALE-funded projects are categorized into the following four groups: 1. Corridor of Statewide Significance – 12 key multimodal travel corridors that move people and goods within and through Virginia, serving primarily long- distance/interregional travel. 2. Regional Networks – multimodal infrastructure within 15 Regional Network that are based on designated Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) within the Commonwealth, serving primarily intraregional travel 3. Urban Development Areas (UDA) – areas where jurisdictions intend to concentrate future population growth and development consistent with the UDA definition in the Code of Virginia and locally-identified Industrial and Economic Development Areas (IEDA) included in Virginia Economic Development Partnership’s (VEDP) Virginia Business Ready Sites Program (VBRSP) 4. Transportation Safety Needs – statewide safety needs identified in the current VTrans Plan.

Furthermore, the SYIP incorporates initiatives that receive funding from external parties but are under the administration of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). During the months of March, April, and May in even-numbered state fiscal years, SMART SCALE applications are solicited from local and regional governments, as well as public transit agencies throughout Virginia, all of which are seeking state funding for transportation projects endorsed by the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB). Following a meticulous selection process, individual projects are chosen for funding and subsequently included in the SYIP. This finalized plan is adopted no later than July 1 each year. Projects included in the SYIP are fully funded through construction and delivered according to the established budget and schedule.
