Welcome to the official RU-vid channel of the Virginia Department of Transportation. VDOT's mission is to plan, deliver, operate and maintain a transportation system that is safe, enables easy movement of people and goods, enhances the economy and improves our quality of life. We hope you enjoy our videos, which give a firsthand look at what we do to keep Virginia Moving!
Widening roads contradicts Virginia's climate goals. Runoff and tire particulation pollute. The proliferation of EV's and SUV's increases average vehicle weight, worsening pavement wear. Structural improvements, rehabilitations, and restoration+expansion of pedestrian access are great!
Light rail extension: NO WE CANNOT AND WILL NEVER MAKE THIS HAPPEN... 12-lane interstate: Welcome with strong arms from all of us in the city, and we hope this helps traffic and congestion lmaooooo.
We are all REAL PEOLPLE, the workers on the road as well as the ones that are behind the wheel. Lets try to treat each other as such....one and the same.
Our team spends most of their day out in the field and are at risk every single day for a distracted driver to enter our work zones. These stories remind us that no matter what we do to prepare for the day you never know what the vehicles around you are doing. Keep focus on your surroundings, plan for the day, don't get distracted, and expect the unexpected. Do your part and be safe out there RoadSafe. Lets all get from RoadSafe to HomeSafe. New England.
