Description
Join us Wednesday, April 23rd, 2025 from 12:00pm to 1:00pm EST as our panel of speakers discuss VDOT’s Smart Scale process and the Safe Systems approach.
Smart Scale is a process that helps Virginia meet its most critical transportation needs using limited tax dollars. It evaluates potential transportation projects based on key factors like how they improve safety, reduce congestion, increase accessibility, contribute to economic development, promote efficient land use, and affect the environment.
VDOT’s Safe System approach aligns with the national goal of Vision Zero, aiming to eliminate traffic fatalities for all road users. This approach involves addressing all aspects of the road system, including safe road users, safe vehicles, safe speeds, safe roads, and post-crash care.

Special Registration Instructions for Employees of the Virginia Department of Transportation
VDOT employees must register through the VDOT Virtual Campus. Registration fees and related expenses for all VDOT employees will be paid from the VDOT Learning Services Center budget. Registrants should contact their District Training Coordinator or the VDOT Learning Services Center (Central Office employees) for instructions on how to seek reimbursement for travel expenses.
Due to current travel restrictions, VDOT employees are strongly encouraged to attend U. Va. TTA workshops on a day trip basis. Overnight travel requires permission from your District Administrator or Chief -- and in some cases higher levels of authority. If you require overnight lodging to attend a U. Va. TTA workshop, consult with your supervisor, District Training Coordinator, or VDOT Learning Services Center on travel approval procedures.
