Mission

Keep West Virginia Moving (KWVM) is an education and outreach campaign developed by West Virginians for Better Transportation (WVBT). The goal of the campaign is to educate key opinion leaders (community leaders, elected officials and others), the media and the general public regarding the benefits of and support for the continued construction and maintenance of a safe, modern surface transportation infrastructure and the benefits this brings to the state’s safety, employment and overall economy.

West Virginians for Better Transportation is a statewide coalition of businesses, trade associations, chambers of commerce, convention & visitors bureaus, community groups, local leaders, educators and many others.  These groups have joined together to express concerns about West Virginia’s transportation crisis and to call on state leaders to develop long-term solutions.

“Keep West Virginia Moving” is an education campaign designed to produce the following outcomes:

• Inform public leaders, key influencers and the general public about the status of the state’s transportation system, its funding levels and the magnitude of transportation needs (now and in the future).
  
  
• Generate public knowledge of and interest in maintaining and expanding a safe, productive and reliable surface transportation infrastructure in West Virginia.
  
  
• Increase understanding by the public and support for economic and business development benefits of the state’s transportation system.
  
  
• Help garner public support for measures needed to maintain – on a continuing and long-term basis – a safe and modern transportation infrastructure that meets the growth trends of West Virginia.
