Washington Region Transportation Coalition 2023 Priorities The Arlington Chamber signed onto a letter with other Chambers and business organizations in support of the Washington Region Transportation Coalition, formerly the Northern Virginia Transportation Coalition. The Chamber believes that a well planned regional and multimodal transportation network is a key element of our future economic competitiveness and our quality of life. The Coalition urges regional elected officials to continue investing in an “all-of-the-above” strategy for transportation, addressing our challenges by committing to not just roadways, but also Metrorail, commuter rail, bus, bicycle, and pedestrian networks.
