Dear legislators, I am writing in support of HB 24. I urge you to vote in support of this bill as it provides a critical opportunity to protect the safety of those of us on the roads by allowing flashing lights to alert traveling vehicles of the potential to encounter hounds and mounted riders. Thank you for your diligent work in keeping all Virginians as safe as possible on our roads. Many thanks for your consideration. Sincerely, Cricket Bedford

Virginia Association of Towing & Recovery Operators (VATRO) are against this bill as there are already to many yellow warning lights on service and safety vehicles on the roadways today. The General Public who is motoring by, has learn to ignore all of yellow flashing lights. Because there just so many going on the highways and roadways that we travel on. So where does it all stop, they were designed for safety of workers having to work along a highway. Next year deer hunters will want lights and so on. Please Turn this bill down, as we need no more yellow warning lights. Thank You for all your service and hard work in this matter.

Amber warning lights not only add safety components to all those fox hunting but specifically our road whips and hounds. As a junior member fox hunting is a huge part of my life and the safety of hounds, horses, our road whips, and those who are not participating are a must.

Allowing amber warning lights for road whip vehicles will be a safety feature for all involved. Please consider this safety issue and support local Foxhunting.

I am in support of HB24. With an increase in number of roads and volume of traffic on roads, the people who are in vehicles performing ‘road whip’ duties are in need of protective measures to ensure their safety as well as for hounds and horses. The road whips are used to either help the hunt cross roads safely when moving within territory the hunt has permission to be on or to try and stop the pack from entering land which the hunt does not have permission to be on. I have personally witnessed (and heard from other foxhunters) instances when drivers have been verbally abusive and driving aggressively towards road whips. This bill will help protect the road whips who are ,in fact, not only trying to keep the hounds and mounted horses safe but also the people in other vehicles. No one wants any hounds or horses to be injured and nor do they want any other people to be injured or cars sustaining damage from hitting any hounds or horses. The lights and signage on the road whip trucks will encourage people to slow down or stop and to have a bit of patience while hunts do all that is possible to remove themselves from roadways as quickly as possible. Thank you for your consideration of this Bill.

Keeping the dirt roads in Virginia is very important to the equine communities. Virginia is known world wide as a horse and hound friendly state and the income generated by the equine community is large. Keeping the rural areas rural is so important to the well being of the horse industry. Keeping our dirt roads as dirt roads is essential to keeping areas rural.

I am writing to you to express my strong support for Bill # HB 24, amending the original bill 46.2-10.25 and adding Section 46.2-10.25.1. I am in strong support of adopting this amendment as it relates to amber warning lights being used on certain hunting vehicles. As a mounted foxhunter of over 20 years I have personally experienced the need for these lights and the common sense reasons for their use. They are vital for the safety and protection of all vehicular traffic- hunting or otherwise, riders on horse back and hounds, especially on our curving country roads. Thank you to you and the committee for your work. Sincerely, Jane Bishopm Sent from my iPad Jane Carter Bishop 540-729-7083

I urge the committee to support HB24. Allowing warning lights to vehicles for hunting will greatly increase road safety.

Good morning, I am writing in support of HB 24 which will be heard by the House Transportation Sub-Committee: Highway Safety and Policy this afternoon at 4PM. I urge you to vote in support of this bill as it provides a critical opportunity to protect the safety of those on the roads by allowing flashing lights to alert traveling vehicles of the potential to encounter hounds and mounted riders. Thank you for your diligent work in keeping all Virginians as safe as possible on our roads.

I am a member of two mounted foxhunting clubs in Loudoun County. Here in Loudoun we are preserving a sport which has its roots amongst the first colonists of America. My club, Piedmont Fox Hounds, is the oldest fox hunting club in the US, founded in 1840. For almost two centuries our club has maintained a large area of the countryside that is an asset to the citizens of Loudoun County. Over 30,000 acres of Loudoun County have been placed in Conservation Easement by foxhunters. This forever preserved rural landscape is an asset to our citizens. These working farms contribute to our food security, air quality, and peace of mind of all who travel or live here. Loudoun has been the target of intense development. With development comes traffic and people unfamiliar with a rural way of life. Foxhunting requires large swaths of land as the path of the hunt is often unpredictable, based on the whims of the quarry and the chasers. I should note that our objective is not to kill the target of our chase; rather we are content to chase it to it's hiding place, of which there are many. In the course of our chase we are required to cross roads that have become increasingly busy due to development in our area. Foxhunts have adapted to this development by employing chase vehicles, equipped with amber lights, to warn motorists of the presence of horses and hounds on the road, and to proceed with caution. This is a prudent investment by the hunts in the interests of public safety and should be allowed. A collision between a 1400 pound horse and a car will lead to serious injuries for the animal, it's rider, and the motorist involved. Please support the prudent practice and investment of our foxhunting clubs and support this practice.

As a current Master of Foxhounds, past Steward of OCH, and an experienced road whip I would like to express my approval of Bill HB24 and request its’ passage as soon as possible. Sincerely, Malcolm Matheson III, MFH

The HRTA and VATRO are against this bill as there are already to many yellow lights on the road today. The motoring public has come to ignore yellow lights because there are so many going down the road that are on and should not be also where does it stop, next year dear hunters will want lights and so on. Please Turn this bill down as we need no more yellow lights. Thank You for your service

Dear Members of the Transportation Highway Safety Committee, My name is Rachel Jones I'm a resident of Louisa County and a member of the Louisa Board of Supervisors. I'm also a avid mounted Fox Hunter and member of the Keswick Hunt Club. Here in Louisa County the Keswick Hunt Club, Fox Chases thought the Historic Greens Springs District on private land which is connected by rural unpaved VDOT maintained roads. Having Vehicles marked with Amber colored lights would afford a level of safety to all who are on horseback many of which are Jr. members under the age of 18 years old along with vehicle drivers. My husband a Capt. in VSP also feels the bill should read to include allowing slow moving marked hunt vehicles use the lights, not just when standing.

My comments are in reference to the bridge on exit 13 being named to honor Deputy Percy Lee House. Deputy House was a dedicated public servant that dedicated his life (and gave his life) to law enforcement. He served the citizens of Greensville County and Emporia and he mentored countless law enforcement professionals. I am one of those law enforcement professionals. I met Deputy House the first day I started at the Sheriff’s Office and he always was there for me. I think that this gesture is the least that can be done for a man that lost his life doing a job that few people understand or are willing to do.

This would be great honor for P.Lee House lll.Not only for Greensville Co. Va the GCSD.But also to his family and friends including myself who was considered more family than a friend. If it would please the House of Delegates please pass the to help keep alive the memories of or beloved friend and a even greater police officer who passed away serving his community. Thanks Carl Grizzard.

Lee House was my brother. He was born and raised in Greensville County (Emporia), where he spent his life in law enforcement. He started with the City of Emporia Police Department. He then joined The Greensville County Sheriff Department. It was while serving as a deputy that he lost his life in the line of duty. The response following his death was a testament to his impact on the community. As a humble man, he likely never realized what he meant to his community. He was just doing his job. As we approach the 10th anniversary of his dead on 1/31/24, our family appreciates the efforts of Tim Jarratt to have Otterdam Rd bridge designated as the Percy Lee House III Memorial Bridge. We also appreciate Otto Wachsmann sponsoring Bill 92 to make this happen. We appreciate your consideration and ask that you support the bill to designate the bridge as a memorial to his service to, and impact on his community.

I encourage passage of the bill to name the bridge over I-95 at exit 13 after the Greensville Co Deputy’s honor. He lost his life in service to our county and I feel this appropriate to honor his memory. I was friends of a state trooper (Leo Whitt) that was killed in the line of duty and there is a bridge on I-95 in Prince George County near where he was killed and I know what that memorial means to his friends and family even today after many years. Let’s honor this Deputy for his sacrifice to always be remembered. Rev Dr Fred O’Daire, Jr

Lee House was a great individual and was great friend to many people. This is a great way to honor Lee and I 100% support this bill

My name is Betsy Veliky and I worked with Deputy Percy Lee House, III at the Greensville County Sheriff's Office at the time of his line of duty death. Deputy House died serving the citizens of our county on a cold, ice covered road wintery day. When he signed on for duty that morning, he had plans of work, after work, lunch, ambitions. All those came to an end when his patrol car skidded on ice and into a creek and was submerged. Please consider naming the Otterdam Bridge after our 6'5" Gentle Giant of a Deputy, we all loved and still grieve today. Than you.

Good morning I am Courtney Farrar (spell last name), a resident of the East End here in Richmond and a daily bus patron. I am reminded often of the inequities within our transit system while observing the lack of decent and safe places to stand or sit while waiting for said buses. Next time you’re moving about our beautiful Commonwealth, remember not only those deemed to be your average constituents but, remember those living with disabilities, mothers with small children, and others sitting on flipped shopping carts in proximity to the street. An influx of shelters allows these usually cash-strapped constituents to prevent taxi and ride share costs due to the inability to stand or hazardous conditions. Without the passage of House Bill 285, this body will force these vulnerable populations into dangerous and expensive situations to simply get to work, do errands, or participate in other activities.

Comments Document

The Virginia League of Conservation Voters encourages you to SUPPORT HB285 (McQuinn) Uniform Statewide Building Code; bus shelters. This Legislation Would: --Streamline the bus stop improvement process and eliminate unnecessary delays. --Accelerate deployment of Transit Ridership Incentive Program (TRIP) funds to improve the accessibility and safety of our bust transit system’s bus stops and last-foot infrastructure.

If you want to make us safer, pass this.

No- no to increased policing!

No! reduce, do not create, new interactions with policing system, that will disproportionately harm communities of color
