The Commonwealth Transportation Board will hold public hearings around the state this month and next on Virginia's 2009-2014 transportation-improvement plan.

The board wants comments from the public about which highway, rail, public transportation, commuter services, bicycle and pedestrian projects should be included in the plan, to be approved in June.

The working draft of the six-year plan will be available for review at VirginiaDOT.org and at Virginia Department of Transportation district and residency offices after tomorrow.
