Arrive Alive Henrico

Arrive Alive Henrico is the County’s plan to improve transportation safety for all road users, regardless of how they navigate around the County.

Henrico County received funding from the Department of Transportation to develop Arrive Alive Henrico. The funding was provided through Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A), which promotes transportation safety by supporting efforts to reduce roadway fatalities and serious injuries.

Arrive Alive Henrico will be developed through a four-step process: identifying issues and opportunities, establishing priorities, developing strategies, and crafting the plan.

Public Engagement: Summer 2024

The first round of public engagement occurred from May to August 2024 and included:

  • Five pop-up community events
  • An online survey
  • A public meeting
  • A work session with stakeholders who work on transportation safety in Henrico County. 11 organizations that serve Henrico County were represented.

The purpose was to identify transportation safety concerns of road users throughout the county. Key takeaways included:

  • A need for additional pedestrian and bicyclist infrastructure
  • Unsafe driver behaviors related to distracted driving and speeding
  • Infrastructure and public educational campaigns as critical elements to improving roadway safety in Henrico County
