Stafford County's Board of Supervisors narrowly voted against a proposed resolution to create a Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) that would aim to address the county's growing infrastructure needs.

Supervisors Deuntay Diggs, Tinesha Allen, and Monica Gary supported the proposal. They emphasized the need for innovative solutions to the county's transportation challenges. However, the motion failed after Supervisors Meg Bohmke, Darrell English, Pamela Yeung, and Crystal Vanuch voted against it.

During the board meeting, Supervisor Allen voiced concerns about the county’s insufficient funding for critical transportation projects. "We have $300 million worth of projects, and we're only putting $14 million towards them," said Allen. "We need more funding and better infrastructure to ensure safety on roads like Telegraph Road."
