Virginia Partners
These partner agencies work together with 511 Virginia to make your travels throughout the state as smooth and easy as possible.
The Virginia Department of Transportation, owner of the 511 Virginia service, is charged with planning, developing, delivering, operating and maintaining – on time and on budget – the best possible transportation system for the traveling public. VDOT also provides funding for airports, seaports, rail and public transportation through the Commonwealth Transportation Board. Visit virginiadot.org.
The Department of Rail and Public Transportation works to help find the shortest, smartest distance between point A and point B. Many times, this involves working to increase the number of riders on rail and other public transit, as well as funding traffic demand management programs to help reduce the number of cars on the road.

The Virginia State Police has helped make the commonwealth a safe and secure place to live for more than 70 years,.
