Caltrans Task Force on Work Zone Safety

Making Work Zones Work Better

Caltrans has set up the Task Force on Work Zone Safety as an open committee to consider how to improve driver and worker safety, reduce congestion, and improve efficiency.

The initial set of participants have been drawn from attendees at two, FHWA-sponsored workshops entitled "Making Work Zones Work Better." This web site continues the discussions and work started at those meetings.

Perhaps the main reason that the workshops were so interesting and valuable was attendance from an extremely wide range of groups, including contractors, cities, counties, universities, and state agencies. Accordingly, all who find their way to this site are invited to join in the discussion and help identify and resolve issues related to highway traffic and safety.
