Outreach Details
State Agency: American Traffic Safety Services Association
Campaign Name: National Work Zone Memorial
Description: Unveiled in April 2002, the ATSSA Foundation's National Work Zone Memorial is a living tribute to the memory of men, women and children who have senselessly died in work zones. It travels to communities cross-country year-round to raise public awareness of the need to respect and stay safe in America's roadway work zones. A totally refurbished ATSSA Foundation National Work Zone Memorial was unveiled in April 2006 in Washington, D.C. during the National Work Zone Awareness Week event.
Themes: ¿What many people do not realize is the high number of motorists, not roadway workers, who are killed in work zones,¿ said Roger Wentz, Executive Director of ATSSA. ¿This memorial will recognize all people killed in work zones over the years.¿
Materials: Visitors to the exhibition may also receive a locally customizable handout with tributes, FAQ¿s, and information for traveling safely in work zones.
