Prince William Board proclaims Traffic Awareness Month and Parks & Recreation Month
Summary
The board proclaimed August 2026 as Traffic Awareness Month and July as Parks and Recreation Month; regional partners from MWCOG and Virginia DMV joined to describe regional road‑safety work and county parks' programming and partnerships.
The Prince William County Board of County Supervisors approved proclamations recognizing traffic safety and parks and recreation. The board invited regional partners to emphasize prevention and community engagement efforts tied to both proclamations.
Janie Nam, a transportation planner at the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, told the board that, “Across the region, roadway crashes claimed about 300 lives in 2025,” and outlined regional technical assistance programs that support local roadway safety projects. Planning and transportation staff invited residents to visit traffic‑safety exhibits at the County Fair July 31–Aug. 2, including a Virginia DMV demonstration ladder intended to highlight speed awareness. County parks officials and the Prince William Conservation Alliance accepted the parks proclamation and noted ongoing partnerships on stewardship, outreach and capital projects, including scholarships and a new pump track at Rollins Ford Park.
