That's a wrap on the 2026 National Work Zone Management Conference! THANK YOU to the attendees, presenters, exhibitors & sponsors for making this year's conference a success! We appreciate everyone who helped make this event possible & look forward to continuing the conversation.
Another insightful day at the 2026 National Work Zone Management Conference. Today we heard from @OSHA_DOL Assistant Secretary Dave Keeling. Attendees also learned about the latest in connected work zones, educating teen drivers and the evolving world of internal traffic control.
Our first time back in person since the pre-covid era, and Day 1 of the 2026 National Work Zone Management Conference was a huge success. Tomorrow we have another jam-packed day. See you then!
Mark Kehrli, director, @USDOTFHWA office of transportation operations, outlines the impacts of the agency's more than $50 million in grants aimed at improving motorist and worker safety in road construction zones during the 2026 National Work Zone Management Conference.
The National Work Zone Management Conference is off to a strong start with a standing-room only workshop on Advancing Nighttime Work Zone Visibility and Safety presented jointly by the @USDOTFHWA’s Offices of Safety and Operations, @ARTBA and @ATSSAHQ.

🦺 PPE is the last line of defense — not the first. Move up the hierarchy: eliminate exposure, add positive protection, use engineering controls.
A high-vis vest can't stop a vehicle. A barrier can.

Your Temporary Traffic Control (TTC) plan covers traffic passing through the zone. But what about the dump truck backing inside the work space? 🚛 That's an @OSHA_DOL concern the TTC plan doesn't address.
Two sets of requirements. One work zone.
