🚗🚧 This week, DKS' Scott Mansur, P.E. PTOE presented at the APWA Oregon Chapter Conference in Pendelton, Oregon 🛑🛣 The DKS Associates Safety Team has made tremendous progress in enhancing roadway safety across the state and beyond. They’ve assisted numerous agencies in creating SS4A-compliant safety action plans that pinpoint actionable programs and projects, aiming to eliminate fatalities and serious injuries on our roadways. These plans not only strive to save lives but can also position agencies for future funding through the SS4A Implementation Grant program, fostering continued development of identified safety projects. Big thanks to Scott and the DKS Safety team for sharing insights on this vital work! #DKSAssociates #SS4A #TransportationSafety #APWA
