The Foundation's “The Life Behind The Cones And Barrels – How Roadway Workers Keep America Moving Poster Contest" program educates young people about work zone safety before they begin to drive. Educated future drivers in grades K-3 and 4-6 document their impressions of roadway work and become advocates for safe work zone habits to their family members and friends.
