A recent poll conducted on behalf the Virginia Civic Engagement Table found Virginians support developing mass transit versus building new roads and highways and strongly agreed that investment in public transportation creates jobs and boosts economic growth as well as decreasing our reliance on oil and gas.

On uranium mining, 58% of respondents oppose lifting Virginia’s ban due to health and water contamination concerns, versus 20% who believe the potential for job creation outweighs the risk.
