    X. NORTHERN VIRGINIA TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY M E M O R A N D U M TO: Chairman Martin E. Nohe and Members Northern Virginia Transportation Authority FROM: Monica Backmon, Executive Director DATE: September 6, 2018 SUBJECT: Executive Director’s Report ______________________________________________________________________________ 1. Purpose: To inform the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA) of items of interest not addressed in other agenda items. 2. Project Status Updates With 78 executed Standard Project Agreements (SPAs) already in place, and another 44 SPAs set to follow through the recently adopted 2018-2023 Six Year Program, NVTA staff are in the process of enhancing their oversight and coordination activities. These enhanced activities will provide Authority members and others with greater insights regarding the status of projects funded with NVTA revenues (regional and local). Starting in fall 2018, jurisdictional and agency staff will periodically meet with and brief NVTA staff on the status of projects with approved SPAs. These briefings, which are expected to occur every 3-6 months, will include: schedule updates; project funding and SPA billings; risk identification and mitigation; upcoming milestones, including groundbreaking and ribbon-cuttings; and overview of major projects using local distribution (30%) revenues. Also starting in Fall 2018, NVTA staff will present a series of briefings to the Authority on project status and key trends in each of the region’s transportation corridors. The purpose of these briefings is to raise awareness of the Authority’s investments across the region. The first presentation is tentatively scheduled for the October meeting, will focus on the I-95/Route 1/VRE Fredericksburg Line corridor.
