Governor Timothy Kaine didn't offer details, but said he will introduce another transportation plan during a special General Assembly session this spring.

Kaine said at a town hall meeting at Virginia Wesleyan College Wednesday that he has been discussing a new transportation package with General Assembly leaders.

He said those talks began after the Virginia Supreme Court in February struck down the plan for regional authorities to impose taxes on Hampton Roads and northern Virginia citizens.

Kaine did not details his new plan Wednesday, but said he wants "to make sure the regions have the money they need and that statewide maintenance needs are addressed."

The governor said he plans more discussions with assembly leaders in about 10 days.
