🚧 It's National Transportation Week! 🚧

This week we recognize the dedicated roadway workers who keep our roads, bridges and transportation systems running safely and efficiently. From construction crews to traffic control professionals and everyone in between, your work keeps our communities moving.

Let's do our part by staying focused and avoiding distractions, following posted signs and instructions and slowing down in work zones to make sure everyone makes it home safe.

Your awareness saves lives! 🦺
