As part of the American Traffic Safety Services Foundation’s (ATSS Foundation) mission to support the loved ones of those impacted by work zone crashes, the nonprofit’s scholarship programs offer healing and educational opportunities. The Foundation offers three scholarship programs: the Roadway Worker Memorial Scholarship, the Experience Camps Travel Scholarship and the Marty Weed Engineering Scholarship. 

The ATSS Foundation received $5,335 in online donations during GivingTuesday, nearly reaching its goal of $5,500 for the event, an achievement Foundation President David Krahulec celebrated this morning.

Each year, The Foundation supports dependents of roadway workers killed or permanently disabled in roadway work zones with the Roadway Worker Memorial Scholarship, providing financial assistance for their post-high school education.

A bill passed in Washington State will provide educational opportunities to the loved ones of highway workers killed or permanently disabled in roadway crashes.

The American Traffic Safety Services Foundation (ATSS Foundation) has awarded nine students with the 2019-2020 Roadway Worker Memorial Scholarship.
