Roadway safety highlighted in construction festival on National Mall

ATSSA will be on the National Mall alongside others engaged in construction of our nation’s infrastructure May 14-16.

Join thousands on Mother’s Day for the kickoff of the Celebration of Construction on the National Mall.  Bring the kids to see the construction vehicles spread across the area between the U.S. Capitol and the Washington Monument.

ATSSA President & CEO Stacy Tetschner will be a panelist for a discussion on job site and roadway safety.

This free event provides an opportunity for individuals, families, government officials and policy makers to see the equipment and technology responsible for the country’s building and transportation sectors. The event also provides a chance to learn about careers in these industries.

Joining ATSSA will be experts from companies such as Bobcat, Bridgestone, Caterpillar, John Deere, Komatsu, Kubota and Tractor Corp.

Several ATSSA member companies are helping showcase the role of roadway safety, including Hill & Smith, Horizon Signal Technologies, Impact Recovery Systems, Korman Signs, Swarco and Ver-Mac.

Exhibits are open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Access the event via the Smithsonian Metro station.

The third week in May is also United for Infrastructure Week, a time to raise awareness of the critical role infrastructure plays in communities across the country as well as the importance for public safety of a robust transportation network.
