Forward Virginia

Welcome

Welcome to Forward Virginia, the first blog (at least as far as I know) cataloguing, detailing and discussing transportation issues in Northern Virginia and around the commonwealth. Tim Kaine was recently elected to succeed Mark Warner as governor, and his campaign slogan, "Moving Virginia Forward," is the inspiration for the title of this blog. It is also the aim of smart transportation policy that will help free up gridlock, reduce pollution and improve the quality of life for all Virginians.

Join me as I take a look at some of the greatest transportation issues facing Virginia today, with an eye on the past for guidance as we look forward to tackling these problems. Though I am a Tim Kaine supporter, I aim to take a non-partisan approach in looking at areas such as roads, transit and smart growth in helping move Virginia forward. I also have a Web site about D.C. commuting at my home page, geocities.com/omaryak -- feel free to take a look, and let me know what you'd like to see covered in this blog as well as on my home page.
