Whether you’re on a broomstick or behind the wheel, impairment is a one-way trip to trouble. If your plans include marijuana, plan a sober ride home. 🍃🧹If You Feel Different, You Drive Different.

As the temps start to drop, community cats & wildlife may curl up near a warm car engine. Check your vehicle for hiding critters before you turn on the engine ⬇️ ✔️ honk your car horn ✔️ tap the hood of your car ✔️ check the tires ✔️ give animals time to leave #NationalCatDay

Bristol has a not-so-spooky secret! Part of Piedmont Avenue is a bridge that’s home to endangered gray bats🦇. While bats can get a bad rap, they’re important for our ecosystem. As VDOT designs future improvements, they’re looking out for these bats too: vdot.virginia.gov/projects/b…
