ATSSA team

Today is Go Orange Day! Go Orange Day, the Wednesday of National Work Zone Awareness Week is when roadway safety professionals and supporters across the country are encouraged to proudly wear orange to advocate for and show their dedication to work zone safety. NWZAW and Go Orange Day are incredibly meaningful to the families of victims who have been permanently injured or lost their lives in work zone incidents.

Put on your orange, host an orange-themed event, etc. and post your best orange pics to social media with #NWZAW and #Orange4Safety!

If you need some inspiration, check out some example social media posts from the "NWZAW Promotion Guide".

Show your support for work zone safety the rest of the week:

Thursday, April 24, social media storm – Take to social media from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. ET using hashtags #NWZAW and #WorkZoneSafety to share messages on work zone safety advocacy.
