Traffic Safety is Our #1 Priority!
FY 2021 VIOHS Occupation Protection Projects

-
Motorists with young children
-
Teenage drivers
-
Nighttime drivers
To accomplish the goals established in the approved VI Highway Safety Plan, the OP program embarked on the following projects, each designed to reduce crash-related risks for injuries and fatalities through preventative safety strategies:
