Chesterfield County Supervisor Christopher M. Winslow and Hanover County Supervisor W. Canova Peterson will lead the Richmond Regional Transportation Planning Organization for the 2024 fiscal year.

Mr. Winslow will serve as board chair and Mr. Peterson as board vice chair of RRTPO, a cross-jurisdictional alliance of nine Richmond-area governments that plan transportation initiatives for the region.

“I am pleased to assume this leadership post at a time when the region is moving ahead aggressively and prudently on so many transportation fronts,” Mr. Winslow said. “At the same time that we are guided by the multimodal transportation elements of ConnectRVA 2045, we are also addressing the region’s needs when it comes to pedestrian safety, a vibrant biking infrastructure and our ever-expanding public transportation needs as commuting patterns are shifting dramatically and development is booming across the region. I look forward to working with Vice Chair Peterson, the board and the wider community in moving these and other issues forward.”

A member of the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors since 2016 and chair of the board in 2022, Mr. Winslow also serves on the Capital Region Airport Commission, alternate to the Central Virginia Transportation Authority, and on the board of directors of Greater Richmond Partnership and PlanRVA.

Mr. Peterson was first elected to the Hanover Board of Super- visors in 2011 and currently serves as chair, in addition to board leadership positions in 2013 and 2019. An architect by profession, he serves on the facility space needs, finance and legislative board committees and also represents Hanover on the PlanRVA com- mission and Central Virginia Transportation Authority.

“Organizations like the Richmond Regional Transportation Planning Organization reflect the spirit of cooperation and col- laboration that exists among local jurisdictions, and it is through these alliances that our best work emerges,” Mr. Peterson said. “There is a lot on our plate, and I welcome this opportunity to work with my colleagues throughout the region in addressing these important issues.”
