ABOUT US The American Traffic Safety Services Association (ATSSA) is headquartered in Fredericksburg, Va. Our core purpose is “To Advance Roadway Safety.” Since 1969, ATSSA has represented companies and individuals in the traffic control and roadway safety industry. Over 1,600 ATSSA members provide the majority of features, services and devices used to make our nation’s roadways safer. These include pavement markings, road signs, work zone traffic control devices, guardrails, high friction surfacing and other roadside safety features. ATSSA members also include public officials, mostly safety professionals, from state and local governments. We believe that government must unite with private industry to help dramatically reduce the 32,000+ deaths that occur annually on our roadways. We call this goal, “Toward Zero Deaths.”
ATSSA’S TOP FOUR PRIORITIES FOR 2013
ATSSA strongly supports efforts to increase funding options and revenue sources for the Highway Trust fund. It is evident that the current federal user fees associated with the Highway Trust Fund will not support the maintenance of our roadways. Given this reality, ATSSA supports traditional and new funding and financing options.
Retain funding for the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) with a target minimum of $3 billion or 10% of overall highway funding, whichever is greater.
Funding for the HSIP should be reserved exclusively for infrastructure safety projects and should not be transferable to other programs.
Amend language in current law to clarify Congressional intent that the only eligible use of HSIP funds is for roadway safety infrastructure projects.
