FREDERICKSBURG, Va. (Dec. 14, 2020) – ATSSA kicks off its 51^st Annual Convention & Traffic Expo with a Roadway Worker Protection Summit, going to the heart of the Association’s lifesaving mission.

The Summit features a panel discussion in which two ATSSA members share the painful experience of losing an employee in a work zone incident. They will discuss resources that helped the employee’s family and their team through the aftermath. They also will talk about tips and tools aimed at preventing work zone injuries and deaths such as training, certification and equipment.

The two-hour Summit is the first session of the 2021 Convention & Traffic Expo, which is being held online over two weeks -- Feb. 8-12 and 16-18.

ATSSA members know better than most that our lives are connected to the roads and highways. We travel them. We work on them. We do our best to make them safe.

And so, with a nod to the song, “Life is a Highway,” we’re looking for photos and videos showing you and your team engaged in your daily work life.

Our goal is to pull together images from across the globe showing our members at work and then share them in a video during the 51^st Annual Convention & Traffic Expo.
