AASHTO Joins Effort to Get Federal Funding for Automated Work Zone Enforcement

The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials joined eight other organizations as signatories to a letter sent to Congressional committee leaders that seeks the allowance of federal funding for automated speed enforcement of work zones. They believe most work zone fatalities and injuries can be attributed to speeding. The use of automated enforcement systems in work zones can reduce speeding and by extension the crashes, fatalities, and injuries it causes.
