ICYMI: Our flood monitoring system recently earned the 2024 Environmental Excellence Award by the Federal Highway Admn.

Using computer models, gauges & other data points, the system allows us to quickly and effectively react to hurricanes & storms.

If you love your mother, you won't make her worry about the little things.

🙋‍♀️ Buckle up
🙋‍♀️ Slow down
🙋‍♀️ Put the phone away
🙋‍♀️ Drive sober

Trains! Trains! Trains!

We love trains!

What do you when a traffic signal malfunctions and reverts to a flashing lights mode?

NCDOT is changing the flashing lights mode to all-red. What this means for you: Treat it like an all-way stop.

Just celebrate responsibly. Sober drivers are cool.

Once you park, Stop. Look. Lock.

Hot car deaths are heartbreaking, tragic and 100% preventable.
