Hampton Roads Tide

Overhaul and improvement have been required in the past ten years. Under current traffic pressure, repair has a major impact on the local transit time, and in some cases the duration is 25 hours and 3 hours. According to a survey by the Hampton Road Planning District Committee, in the absence of light rails, more than 18% of the Norfolk roads below the service level (LOS) E at peak peak by 2020 (Brinckerhoff & URS, 2007, page 9) Hampton Roads Began operating the Light Rail project under the name "Tide" in August 2011, with a total cost of 318,552,014 dollars.

The first Tide opened on August 19, 2011 is a 7.4-mile railway line from Fort Norfolk / EVMC to Newtown Road. Harbor Park, MacArthur Square and Norfolk State University's site are also included. Hampton Roads Transit is considering the possibility of future expansion such as extension of light rail to Norfolk naval base or Virginia beach

Tide is a 7.3 mile light railway that extends east from the west end of Norfolk city center through the city center and ends at the city line of Norfolk / Virginia Beach. This project, developed and built by Hampton Roads Transit (HRT), is operated by Hampton Roads Transit (HRT). The rail transport plan through Norfolk's east and west corridors and Virginia beach started in 1986. Thanks to these efforts, a large investment survey was conducted in 1997 and a light railway extending from the center of Norfolk city to the east side of 18 miles in Virginia province was identified. Beach front

Hampton Roads Transit, Hampton Roads Transportation Planning, and regional cities are considering extending the start line. Possible extensions extend north to the Norfolk Naval Base, east to the waterfront and resort of Virginia Beach, west to Portsmouth, and south to Chesapeake. The Peninsula Rapid Transit Project is exploring the feasibility of a light rail in Newport News. Trends on the peninsula include Downtown Newport News, Amtrak Passenger Railway Station in Newport News, Oyster Point, Newport News / Williamsburg International Airport. Extensions between Newport News Downtown and Hampton Downtown are also under consideration.
