PASAP staff attended the 2026 VASAP Conference to strengthen their skills, learn about legislative updates, and explore best practices that support the individuals and communities we serve. We're committed to ongoing professional development so we can provide informed, effective, and high-quality services throughout the Peninsula.

The Peninsula Alcohol Safety Action Program (PASAP) was honored through House Resolution No. 2123, recognizing the agency's 52-year legacy of service, innovation, and leadership in promoting highway safety and supporting the judicial system throughout the Commonwealth. During a special recognition ceremony held on September 21, 2026, at 102 Pratt Street, Delegate Virgil Thornton presented the Resolution, which commended PASAP for its longstanding commitment to public safety and offender accountability. Established on June 5, 1974, PASAP is one of Virginia's oldest Alcohol Safety Action Programs and serves Hampton, Newport News, Poquoson, Williamsburg, York County, James City County, and Charles City County. Each year, the agency provides education, monitoring, and intervention services to approximately 7,000 individuals. The Resolution highlighted PASAP's leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic, its development of innovative online services, and its successful role in helping re-establish the Alexandria ASAP program in 2022. The Resolution will be permanently archived by the Virginia House of Delegates as a lasting recognition of PASAP's contributions to the Commonwealth and the communities it serves. For more than five decades, PASAP has remained dedicated to protecting Virginia's roadways, supporting the courts, and helping build safer communities throughout the Peninsula region.
