Norfolk Portsmouth Newport News, VA, October 15, 2026 —
Virginia’s Intelligent Speed Assistance Program installed 90 speed-limiting devices in vehicles during its first three months, while 145 referrals were made to the program over the same period.
The initiative is designed to curb reckless driving. It requires certain reckless drivers to install technology that prevents their vehicles from exceeding posted speed limits.
The figures show that the number of referrals exceeded the number of installed devices during the program’s initial three months. The information provided does not explain the status of the remaining referrals or whether each referral results in a device installation.
The exact dates covered by the three-month period were not provided. Details about how drivers are referred, which drivers qualify, how the devices operate, or how compliance is monitored were also not available.
The program’s reported totals offer an early count of referrals and installations, but no additional results were provided on its effect on driving behavior or reckless driving. The information also does not specify where within Virginia the devices were installed or identify the agencies involved in making referrals.
For now, the reported activity consists of 145 referrals and 90 installations during the first three months. Further details about referral outcomes, eligibility and program results were not included in the available summary.
