Move Safely Blue Ridge is about providing safe travel for all users throughout the region, regardless of how they move or where they live.

What Can You Do?

Slow down. Higher speeds lead to more severe injuries for drivers, passengers, and other road users during a crash.
Stay alert. Be aware of other road users, especially pedestrians and cyclists; adjust your driving during severe weather or other events.
Spread the word. Tell your family, friends, and colleagues about the planning process.
