Dear Ms. Lloyd:
The Virginia Department of Transportation received your Freedom of

partnership of Virginia Department of Transportation and the University of
Virginia. Please be advised section 2.2-3704 (A) of the *Code of Virginia*

provide that information so that we may proceed with your request.
For your reference, I am providing you a copy of section 2.2-3704 (A) of
the *Code of Virginia* below.
