Hazardous Materials
Who do I contact at the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) about the regulation of hazardous materials?
The Virginia State Police enforces the regulations pertaining to the transportation of hazardous materials. Any questions regarding hazardous materials transportation can be forwarded to Lt. Patrick Sedillo.
VDOT only gets involved if hazardous materials are being transported through one of the six state-owned tunnels.
Who do I contact about transporting hazardous materials through a state-owned tunnel?
Contact VDOT at (804) 786-2848. Report hazardous materials spills and incidents to CHEMTREC at (800) 424-9300. That number is available 24 hours a day.
