ATSSA nominations for National Safety Award due July 31

Nominate outstanding professionals for the National Safety, Industry Achievement and National Media awards

Nominations are now open for the National Safety Award with ATSSA’s other annual awards opening for nominations soon.

The National Safety Award recognizes an employee or recent retiree of a government agency who made a significant contribution to the safety of our nation’s roadways. Nomination forms are due by July 31.

Nomination forms for all awards are available on ATSSA’s Member and Industry Awards page.

The Industry Achievement Award is the Association’s highest honor and is given to an ATSSA member who achieves distinction deemed worthy of special recognition. It honors members who have made significant contributions to ATSSA and left a mark on the roadway safety infrastructure industry. The nomination period runs from Aug. 8 through Sept. 30.

Nominations for the National Media Award come from state departments of transportation (DOTs) in recognition of fair, balanced and informative reporting on transportation issues on radio, television, newspaper or on web. DOT employees are invited to nominate a reporter, news organization, blogger or freelancer. The nomination period runs from Aug. 9 to Oct. 7.

ATSSA is changing the process for the Mark of Excellence Award, which recognizes an ATSSA member who has made outstanding contributions to the advancement of roadway safety infrastructure through improved pavement markings. The Pavement Marking Committee is reviewing the criteria for the award, which will be presented during the Midyear Meeting in 2023.

Winners of the National Safety Award, Industry Achievement Award and National Safety Award will be recognized during ATSSA’s 53rd Annual Convention & Traffic Expo in Phoenix, Feb. 17-21.
