COG is back with another episode of Collaboration in Action, taking you behind the scenes into the many ways in which we work with our members and partners to support a better DMV region. In this episode, we're diving into the important topic of roadway safety and how we are working to eliminate roadway fatalities and make streets safe for all road users through initiatives such as the Street Smart safety campaign, infrastructure upgrades through our Regional Roadway Safety Program, and new legislative solutions such as exploring reciprocity agreements for automated tickets across jurisdictions.

Learn more about these efforts in the video below, where COG Executive Director Clark Mercer is joined by District of Columbia Councilmember and 2024 TPB Chair Christina Henderson, VDOT Northern Virginia's Multimodal Transportation Planning Manager and 2024 TPB Bicycle and Pedestrian Subcommittee Chair Heidi Mitter, and City of Alexandria Complete Streets Program Manager Alex Carroll.

Guests:

  • Christina Henderson, District of Columbia Councilmember and 2024 Transportation Planning Board Chair
  • Heidi Mitter, VDOT Northern Virginia Multimodal Transportation Planning Manager and 2024 TPB Bicycle and Pedestrian Subcommittee Chair
  • Alex Carroll, City of Alexandria Complete Streets Program Manager
