In September 2006, a four-year, $11.9 million Federal Highway Administration grant was awarded to several national roadway safety partners to enable them to provide informative products and national training to thousands of mend and women who make their livelihood on America's roadways. Since then, 27,545 have been trained in a variety of ATSSA roadway safety training courses at an extremely low cost and have also been given access to a wide range of invaluable and informative products at no cost.
There are three specific areas of the grant. Area 1 covers roadway work zone worker training; the Area 2 phase developed roadway work zone safety guidelines; and Area 3 was created to provide work zone safety guidelines training. The overview video below explains the grant in general, and the three videos define the specific areas of this diverse and educational program.
