National Work
Zone Memorial
“Respect and Remembrance:
Reflections of Life on the Road”
When one loses a family member, colleague
or loved one in a work zone accident—
doing work that most people consider
routine—the sacrifice is too often
underappreciated. Since 2002, the National
Work Zone Memorial—Respect and
Remembrance: Reflections of Life on the
Road—has stood as a living tribute to their
memory and travels to communities
throughout the nation to raise public
awareness of the need to respect and stay
safe in America’s roadway work zones.
Help the Foundation in its endeavor to make
the National Work Zone Memorial as
comprehensive and meaningful as it is meant
to be by submitting the names of those who
deserve recognition. The deadline to add
names to the Memorial for 2015 is Friday,
December 12, 2014.
The Foundation is Accepting
Applications for 2015 Roadway
Worker Memorial Scholarships
The American Traffic Safety Services Foundation is accepting applications for the 2015
Roadway Worker Memorial Scholarship program, which provides financial assistance
for higher education to dependents of roadway workers killed or permanently disabled
in a work zone accident (including mobile operations and the installation of roadway
safety features).
Each Roadway Worker Memorial Scholarship has a value of up to $5,000. Applicants
who demonstrate a strong commitment to volunteerism may be eligible to receive an
additional $1,000 in honor of Chuck Bailey, an esteemed member of the roadway safety
industry who passed away in June 2002.
If you know someone who is eligible, encourage them to apply for the Roadway Worker
Memorial Scholarship. The deadline for scholarship applications is February 15, 2015,
and applications must be postmarked before this date.
