In keeping with their plan to reduce staff to 7,500 by July 2010, VDOT will be issuing 678 layoff notices this week. These cuts will primarily include administrative and financial support positions.
According to a press release from VDOT, an estimated 90 employees are set to be laid off from the Richmond office in this round; an estimated 68 were let go in the previous round of reductions.
The staffing reductions are a portion of a three-part plan, called the Blueprint for the Future, addressing a six-year $4.6 billion transportation revenue shortfall and completing an agency-wide restructuring.
15 offices are slated for closure at the end of this fiscal year.
Best of luck to those facing new challenges as a result of these reductions.

Blueprint for the Future, my ass. Since when is firing good people always the solution for everything. America, where is thy heart?
Do they have to insult people by giving layoffs some ignorant spin, just to make themselves feel better. Really?!
