What is the ATSSA Roadway Safety Listserv?
The “ATSSA Roadway Safety Listserv” allows participants a venue to post questions, exchange information, and discuss various roadway safety issues, products, services, and policy without visiting a website.
You must be a registered user. To begin discussions, registered users simply send an e-mail to this address: roadwaysafety@lists.atssa.com. The question or comment is then sent immediately to all registered Listserv members.
If you would like to be added to the group of registered users, send an e-mail to the ATSSA ListServ.. The subject of your e-mail should be "ATSSA LISTSERV." In the body of your e-mail, please include your full name, address and phone number. You will be automatically added to the Listserv within 72 hours and you’ll receive a confirmation e-mail welcoming you to the Listserv. If you do not receive a confirmation e-mail within 72 hours of registration, call (800) 272-8772, ext. 113. Leave a detailed message and someone will return your call as soon as possible.
After you are registered, it is recommended that you enter roadwaysafety@lists.atssa.com in your e-mail address book for future use.
ATSSA has established some basic guidelines for Listserv participants. By registering, you agree that you have read and will follow the rules and guidelines. The ATSSA Roadway Safety Listserv is a great medium with which to solicit the advice of your peers, benefit from their experience, and participate in ongoing conversations. Please take a moment to acquaint yourself with these important guidelines. If you have questions, call (800) 272-8772, ext. 113. In order to preserve a climate that encourages both civil and fruitful dialogue, ATSSA reserves the right to suspend or terminate membership on the Listserv for members who violate these rules.
· Don't challenge or attack others. The discussions are meant to stimulate conversation not to create contention. Let others have their say, just as you may.
· Don't post commercial messages. Contact people directly with product and/or service information if you believe it would help them.
· Use caution when discussing products. Information posted is available for all to see, and comments are subject to libel, slander, and antitrust laws.
· Defamatory, abusive, profane, threatening, offensive, or illegal materials is strictly prohibited. Do not post a message that you would not want the world to see or that you would not want anyone to know came from you.

· Remember that ATSSA and other e-mail list participants have the right to reproduce postings to this Listserv.
· Do not spam. Spam will be deleted and Spammers will be banned immediately.
· Include a signature tag on all messages. Include your name, affiliation, location, and e-mail address.
· State concisely and clearly the topic of your comments in the subject line. This allows members to respond more appropriately to your posting and makes it easier for members to search the archives by subject.
· Include only the relevant portions of the original message in your reply. Delete any header information, and put your response before the original posting.
· Only send a message to the entire list when it contains information that everyone can benefit from.
· Send messages such as "thanks for the information" or "me, too" to individuals – not to the entire list. Do this by using your e-mail application's forwarding option and typing in or cutting and pasting in the e-mail address of the individual to whom you want to respond.
· Do not send administrative messages, such as remove me from the list, through the Listserv. If you have an administrative concern, call (800) 272-8772, ext. 113.
· Warn other list subscribers of lengthy messages either in the subject line or at the beginning of the message body with a line that says "Long Message."
