My Girl Scout Troop is making crosswalks safer for not only those with low vision, but all pedestrians! Great job, girls! You can help, too, in 15 seconds or less. @GSCNC @girlscouts

Did you know the federal government gives you a voice when it comes to crosswalk design? Take 15 seconds to follow these short steps by tomorrow, 5/14 and you can make an impact on how crosswalks are designed across the country! https://t.co/p1NC9kZ1qy

HB 1841 Passes the Senate Transportation Committee! 1 MORE passing vote next week and we will be working with stakeholders on the best possible crosswalk design for ALL Virginians! Thank you Del. Keam and the State Senators of the Transportation Committee!

Today in a House Transportation subcommittee meeting, Chair @KarrieKDelaney praised @girlscouts from Troop 1673 for championing “zebra” crosswalk legislation and pedestrian safety, especially for those with visual disabilities. #paintityellow2c

Thank you Del. Reid! These amazing young constituents inspired me to introduce a bill to help Virginians with low vision remain safe as they walk on public streets.

[Del. David Reid @DavidReidVA]

Thanks to the Vienna Girl Scout Troop 1673 for stopping by my virtual office to update me on the "zebra" crosswalk legislation they're working on with @MarkKeam. This is an important way to help our fellow citizens with impaired vision. #paintityellow2c https://t.co/FUPzxlR6Zh

@ABC7Kellye @GovernorVA Thank you so much for sharing!

@GovernorVA @FirstLadyVA The girls thoroughly enjoyed their visit! They are still talking about little Billy Trinkle, how friendly you both are and are proudly showing off their coins. Thank you for your support!

[Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73]

Thanks to Troop 1673 for your leadership and advocacy—@FirstLadyVA and I enjoyed meeting you!

Congrats to Vienna Girl Scout Troop 1673 for their recent meeting with @GovernorVA to raise awareness for Usher Syndrome. The disease is the leading cause of combined deafness & blindness. The troop received a proclamation recognizing 9/21 as Usher Syndrome Awareness Day in #VA.

@PeterAlexander I was lifting weights when I heard that and nearly dropped one I laughed so hard.
