Infrastructure Week is a national awareness campaign that shares the facts on investing in our nation’s crumbling infrastructure, and advocates for decision makers on Capitol Hill to support infrastructure policy and investment.

Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) rely heavily on ATSSA member products such as pavement markings, signs, and traffic control devices. These products will be an essential factor in the advancement of CAVs and critical in moving toward zero deaths on our roadways.
 

The congressman received the award yesterday during ATSSA’s Legislative Briefing & Fly-in in Washington, D.C. Hundreds of ATSSA members from across the country were on-site at Capitol Hill, meeting with federal legislators to discuss the importance of roadway safety infrastructure in eliminating injuries and fatalities on our nation’s roadways.

Last month, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Virginia Division Administrator Craig Feister spoke at ATSSA headquarters in Fredericksburg, Virginia about the main objectives of the administration and the agency’s areas of focus. 

About 300 ATSSA members from across the country will gather in San Diego, California from Aug. 21-23 to participate in association committee and council meetings to make their voices heard and help shape the future of the roadway safety industry, while focusing on the goal of moving Toward Zero Deaths on the nation’s roadways.

The American Traffic Safety Services Association (ATSSA) and Transportation Research Board Standing Committee on Traffic Control Devices (AHB50) have launched the 2020 Traffic Control Device (TCD) Student Challenge.

For many departments of transportation (DOTs), the collection and sending of real-time traffic data to roadway users is high priority. One way agencies nationwide are achieving this goal is through the use of sensor technology in roadway infrastructure, such as pavement markings or signs, allowing them to strengthen Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication.
