The VDOT Diet

Mark Obenshain's VDOT 'Waste Reduction' Program

Here is a great idea seen by SWAC Girl [click to read]. Mark Obenshain's VDOT Waste Website [click to read] offers a forum for citizen input. Obenshain says:

“All of us can give examples of hard-working VDOT employees who are dedicated to keeping our roads safe,” said Obenshain. “I consider them allies in this fight. This is about getting our priorities straight: let's make sure that we spend our scarce transportation dollars wisely, maintaining our existing roadways, prioritize – not politicize – new construction projects, and above all, let's make sure that wasteful spending doesn't take away from top safety priorities like clearing snow, grading roads, and keeping the rest stops open.”

I think Dr. June McCarroll [click to read] would have loved it.
