National Work Zone Awareness

Flagger Force is a recognized leader in educating the public to the hazards of work zones, and distracted driving.  Working with our industry trade association, The American Traffic Safety Services Association (ATSSA), as well as the various State DOT organizations, increasingly every year Flagger Force invests more time and money into the effort to educate the public about safe driving in work zones.

National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW) is an annual spring campaign held in various locations throughout the United States at the start of the construction season. The campaign is designed to encourage safe driving through highway work zones. Flagger Force has participated in NWZAW for several years, especially in partnership with State Highway Association (SHA) in Maryland, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). 

In 2018, Flagger Force launched a radio campaign that included public services announcements, and various community events to promote the message to motorists, “Stay Alert. Stay Alive.”

Past campaigns of NWZAW can be found on the ATSSA website.

The Flagger Force Foundation

We have also created an employee-led, company-supported charitable foundation that benefits non-profit organizations, provides employee volunteer opportunities and oversees the Employee Hardship Fund, the Flagger Force Foundation. Founded in 2011, the foundation has supported various organizations and our own employees who may have fallen on hard times. Thanks to the generosity of our employees over the past three years, we have raised over $50,000.  Read more about The Flagger Force Foundation.
