Strengthening Our World-Class Highway System

Work Zone Awareness Week

Every spring, National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW) shines a light on the importance of driving safely through work zones – and protecting the people building and maintaining our roads.

National TIM Responder Training

Five speakers, including FHWA Administrator McMaster, two other men in suits, a woman in business wear, and a male uniformed police officer, are at and around the podium on stage at the USDOT headquarters in front of a display titled "National Day of Traffic Incident Management Responder Training." Several first responders are visible, seated near the stage.

FHWA hosted its first-ever National Day of Traffic Incident Management (TIM) Responder Training to save lives on American roads. More than 100 law enforcement officers, first responders, and state and local transportation officials gathered at USDOT to complete the training course.
