Updated November 10, 2022 — VDOT says it will activate new temporary traffic signals at Interstate 95 and Route 17 near Fredericksburg later than expected.
The signals will now be activated in a flash on Tuesday, Nov. 29, and will go into full-color operation on Thursday, Dec. 1. Earlier this week, VDOT said drivers would see the lights flashing as early as next week.
Attendees learned about alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) technology from the Virginia Clean Cities (VCC) project team and from AFV industry experts ABM, Sonny Merryman Inc., Roush CleanTech, and Blue Bird.
The Drive Clean Rural USA project is a step for the city as it diligently works to achieve the City Council’s goal of powering municipal operations with 100% renewable energy by 2035. As a part of this project and workshop, all three entities undergo a fleet assessment to establish a baseline for fleet operations. By participating in this effort, the city aims to plan and identify opportunities to transition to a clean fuel-powered fleet city-wide.

Stafford County continues to supplement the transportation work planned by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). While VDOT bears the responsibility for the majority of Virginia roads, Stafford has taken a bigger role in assisting with traffic problems in the county in recent years.
Stafford is beginning the process of creating its first Transportation Master Plan to guide future county transportation projects and investment decisions to improve county roads. Stafford seeks the community’s input to decide which projects to plan and build in the coming years and invites the public to take the transportation survey.
