Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) leadership and partners around the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA are excited about the prospects of Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAV) and the benefits they bring to the citizens of the Commonwealth. This article highlights some of the key efforts by the Commonwealth in this regard. The Commonwealth made a strategic decision not to enact any legislation related to the testing of automated vehicle technologies. Input from industry was critical in making this decision and has enabled Virginia to position itself as a premier location where CAV testing is encouraged to progress as freely as possible while maintaining safety. Internally, VDOT has established a new chief of innovation, director of emerging technology, and a CAV program manager to begin to address how CAV will impact how VDOT does business. An executive steering committee has also been formed with representatives from across the agency.
