Project Overview
The Tide light rail will extend 7.4 miles on an east to west alignment from the Eastern Virginia Medical Center through downtown Norfolk, continuing along the Norfolk Southern right-of-way, adjacent to I-264, to Newtown Road. Eleven stations will be constructed along the route with four park and ride locations that provide access to major areas such as Norfolk State University, Tidewater Community College (Norfolk Campus), Harbor Park, City Hall, MacArthur Center, and the Sentara Norfolk General Hospital.
Several goals for The Tide light rail system have been established:
- Enhance the continued development and redevelopment of the City of Norfolk.
- Improve the access, reliability, and linkage of the public transportation system.
- Create transit corridors that link residential, educational, employment and other activity centers.
- Contribute to the protection and preservation of the environment through a multimodal transportation system.
