New year, new law: Starting today, our officers are enforcing the new hands-free law. You are no longer allowed to drive while holding a cell phone or other mobile device.
Here are some alternative options should you need to make a call:
• Use a Bluetooth ear piece for hands free talking
• If you choose to use headphones, please keep in mind Virginia law states you may only have one ear bud in while driving
• If equipped, connect your phone to your vehicle through Bluetooth
• Consider having a passenger answer your calls via speakerphone so you can talk hands free
• Use a cell phone mount in your car to hold your phone
The law provides some exemptions, which include:
• Reporting an emergency
• If you are legally parked or stopped
• Anyone operating an emergency vehicle while in the performance of their official duties
• The use of an amateur or citizens band radio
• The operator of any Department of Transportation vehicle during the performance of traffic incident management services
As a reminder, if convicted, you will be fined $125 for the first offense. If you are caught again or seen on the phone in a construction zone, the fine is $250.
Help keep our roads safe and put your phone down.

**Welcome to the Mosaic District, Relay!** Today, Fairfax County and Dominion Energy began the testing of Relay, an autonomous electric shuttle that will operate between the Dunn Loring Metrorail Station and Mosaic. This is the first test of driverless technology in public transportation in the Washington D.C. region, and the first state-funded autonomous transportation project in Virginia.

Join us as approximately 0.5 miles of one northbound lane of Tysons Boulevard is temporarily closed for dedicated pedestrian and bicyclist usage.
McLean and Tysons are continuing to evolve into a multimodal hub for Fairfax County residents with the completion of the Tysons East sidewalk project, celebrated today by Providence Supervisor Dalia Palchik and Supervisor John Foust. The sidewalk is located on the south side of Route 123 from Great Falls Street to Anderson Road and provides 2400 linear feet of a varied width sidewalk that connects people in McLean to the McLean Metrorail station. The shared use path provides access for walkers and bicyclists. Other components of the project include curbs and gutters, crosswalks, curb ramps, storm pipes and structures and a retaining wall.
The future is near: Northern Virginia Regional Commission, VDOT, FCDOT and Fairfax County Government staff visited Joint Base Ft. Myer-Henderson Hall for a demonstration and discussion on Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) today. While this ride was autonomous, there was always a “safety steward” on board. (Apologies for the :10 delay.)
Merrifield Bikeshare Launch! 🚴♀️
Fairfax County and Dominion Energy are partnering on an autonomous electric shuttle pilot tentatively planned for the Merrifield area in Fairfax County. This is the first state-funded autonomous public transportation pilot in Virginia.
A little rain did not stop the Route 7 Corridor Improvements groundbreaking event held last week! On tap: widening the last piece of four-lane road between Tysons and Leesburg; new bike and pedestrian lanes; improved Connector bus shelters and other infrastructure improvements.
