National Work Zone Awareness Week

Each year, the Port Authority, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), promotes the federally sponsored National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW). This year, NWZAW will take place from April 15-19. This year's theme is "Work Zone Safety: We're All In This Together."

The goal of this promotion is to bring national attention to motorist and worker safety and mobility in work zones. Other participants include the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), the American Traffic Safety Services Association (ATSSA) and local transportation agencies.

Below is a link to the NWZAW section on the FHWA website. Visit the FHWA Web site to find themes from past years and a variety of information related to work zone safety.
