The purpose of the list is to send short text messages about traveling issues (traffic/accidents/weather, etc) for use by UVa employees commuting from the Shenandoah Valley area (those traveling eastbound in the morning and westbound in the evening).
Messages should be limited to 140 characters and should be limited to I-64 where it branches from I-81 in Staunton to Exit 120 in Charlottesville.

Messages to the list should be concise like this:
Accident at MM107. 2 lanes blocked. Crozet Exit Blocked.
Fender-Bender MM 111 - 35mph - shoulder blocked.
