Multimodal Transportation Master Plan
What is the Multimodal Transportation Master Plan?
Norfolk is developing a comprehensive Multimodal Transportation Master Plan to expand travel choices for Norfolk’s residents, businesses, and visitor. This plan will ensure the city’s transportation investments support its land use and economic development strategies. The plan will support Norfolk’s vision for a safe and prosperous city with a 21st century economy and workforce.
The final Multimodal Transportation Master Plan will include:
- A city-wide Multimodal System Plan
- Policy recommendations
- A multimodal needs assessment
- A program of projects for implementation
What is a Multimodal System Plan?
The first step in the Multimodal Norfolk process is to develop a Multimodal System Plan - a layering of the transportation networks and land uses to understand how they work together as a system. The following videos explain the concepts in a Multimodal System Plan and how the draft maps for Norfolk’s Multimodal System Plan were developed.

Back in July, we asked you to review the draft Multimodal System Maps. Most survey respondents generally agreed with the maps and offered suggestions for specific edits. Based on your comments, the Multimodal Norfolk team revised the maps. The revised maps are available at various scales and extents.
