HRT Partnership - Elizabeth River Tunnels

Hampton Roads Transit Partnership
Delivering an Efficient, Connected Transportation Network | Operated by
Elizabeth River Crossings (ERC), the private partner of the Virginia Department of Transportation
for the design, construction, finance, operations and maintenance of the Elizabeth River Tunnels
Project, provides an annual $2.1 million subsidy to Hampton Roads Transit (HRT) for life of the
Concession to increase bus and ferry service between Norfolk and Portsmouth – providing
improved interconnectivity and low-cost, convenient alternatives to driving.
As a part of the expanded services, both HRT Ferries and Buses will benefit from the subsidy.

§§ Route 47 now also operates on Sundays, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
§§ Routes 45 and 47 have increased frequency to 15-minute headways in peak hours compared
to the previous 30-minute to 60-minute intervals
