Report a Safety Issue
To report a near miss or dangerous location use the Northern Virginia Families for Safe Streets(NoVA FSS) Near Miss / Dangerous Location Survey to file a report.
The information you share will be analyzed and periodically shared with local municipalities and transportation organizations to help identify locations that need road safety improvements but are not identified by law enforcement agency crash data. When appropriate, we may also use this information to support advocacy efforts with policymakers to advance street safety initiatives.
If you want to immediately report a safety concern to your local jurisdiction’s transportation authority, please see below.
