D.C.-area drivers beware, road closures are planned for this #weekend on key routes in both Virginia and Maryland. https://wtop.com/local/2025/09/weekend-roadwork-scheduled-on-troublesome-beltway-corridor-that-could-lead-to-improvements/ #montgomerycountymd #mdcommuters #VDOT #DullesAirport #commuting

Today, we identified four new phishing targets impersonating U.S. toll systems and integrated them into our detection system.

New Targets:
• #E_ZPass - VA ( Virginia )
• #VDOT ( Virginia Department of Transportation )
• #NTTA ( North Texas Tollway Authority )
• Ohio Turnpike ( Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission )

If you are not sure about your effective max HR, you can't use for your training. Start with a pace based training e.g., the #VDOT concept by Jack Daniels #RunningFormula. After a while you'll figure out your HR zones.

Edit: removed the misleading hashtag. 😅

I suppose #VDOT does own the roads but, well, this is a parking lot.

#Virginia traffic fatalities remain elevated and hit 902 (to date) for 2024, only 5 fewer than 2023.

#VDOT appears to have absolutely no plan for making its roads safer for all.

I served on many of the committees of these vital transportation safety projects in #cville that are being cancelled, delayed, or reduced in scope and I am sorry to see that happen, but I appreciate the hard work that City Manager Sanders is doing to fix our broken processes and get actual projects actually done. #safestreets #projectmanagement #processimprovement #inflation #vdot #timekillsdeals https://open.substack.com/pub/communityengagement/p/november-13-2024-charlottesvilles

Ach Bücher: Jack Daniels' Running Formula. Ist zwar eher was für die jungen Wilden, mit dem #VDOT Konzept, was sich am Tempo orientiert, komme ich aber sehr gut klar. Habe mich an den 10 km und HM Plänen fürs Training orientiert und bin damit jeweils persönliche Bestzeiten gelaufen.

I'm happy to stumble on this #vdot report on pedestrian safety from a few years ago. I haven't read the whole thing, but a quick review makes it look reasonable, grounded in data, and based on the real world. I don't know a lot about how we are thinking about safety at the state level in #virginia , but this gives me some hope https://www.vdot.virginia.gov/media/vdotvirginiagov/doing-business/technical-guidance-and-support/transportation-and-mobility/bicycle-and-pedestrian/treatments/VDOT_PSAP_Report_052118_with_Appendix_A_B_C.pdf #walkable #safestreets

#VDOT cleared protesters from in front of Blinken's house

I heard some troubling things last night at the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission board meeting about possible changes to Virginia's SMART SCALE transportation funding system, cutting the annual application limit in half and potentially reducing funding for bicycle and pedestrian safety. I am working to understand what is happening and what can be done. https://www.virginiamercury.com/2023/03/23/virginia-to-conduct-in-depth-review-of-smart-scale-process/ #safestreets #climate #equity #virginia #urbanism #biketooter #vdot #cville

Just a quick reminder about tonight's meeting on the #BraddockRoad improvement project. It's a chance to get updates, ask questions, and let your voice be heard. #FairfaxCounty #Virginia #VDOT

There really is no fixing this #DangerousByDesign #VDOT driver transportation system.
