Transportation

The majority of streets in Fairfax County are maintained by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT).

• Report a Road Problem:  repairs to roads, sidewalks, pedestrian and bike paths, and traffic/road sign repair or request.
• Road resurfacing request and potholes:  or call 1-800-FOR-ROAD. 

Fairfax County Department of Transportation (FCDOT) focuses on enhanced mobility and safety through planning, coordinating, and implementing transportation related projects and programs.

• FCDOT Commuter services, road projects and studies, transportation news and events.

VDOT is responsible for clearing roads when it snows. VDOT's goal is to have all roads passable within 48 hours after a storm ends. Interstates, primary roads, and major secondary roads that connect localities, fire stations, employment hubs, schools, hospitals, and public facilities are plowed first. With a big storm, it may be several days before you see a plow on your residential street.
