Gas Up In Goochland

Did you know that buying gas at a local gas station, directly benefits transportation projects in your community?

The General Assembly established the Central Virginia Transportation Authority (CVTA) in 2020 with the goal of administering locally generated transportation funding. With the CVTA, 50% of the taxes collected through gasoline purchases are distributed back to the localities to fund local transportation projects.

Since 2020, Goochland County has realized a total of $9.2 million, with the amount increasing year over year. These funds take the place of local tax dollars so they can be spent on other County priorities.

Curious as to what that looks like in Goochland? Portions of the $9.2 million have gone/will go to the following projects:

  • Fairgrounds Rd Roundabout
  • Emergency Vehicle Preemption at all the traffic signals in Goochland
  • Improvements to the median at Fire-Rescue Company 1
  • Fairground Rd Extension project
  • Oilville/I-64 Interchange Improvements
  • Numerous studies and technical assistance

So, next time you are filling up, be sure to get gas at your local Goochland gas station to benefit your local transportation network.
