It’s Global Road Safety week! The Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA), operator of The Toll Roads, is proud to be a part of the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association’s (IBTTA) 2nd annual Global Road Safety Week.
IBTTA’s global road safety campaign showcases the tolling industry’s commitment to ensuring our roads are safe for everyone. The campaign, “Be Safe Together,” is a call to action and a reminder that every person on the road, including drivers, motorcyclists, passengers, and road workers, is part of a community of people who deserve empathy and respect.
Be Safe Together emphasizes the little choices drivers make at each step of their journey that can make a real difference in others’ lives. By taking time to check the tires and clean the windshield before getting in the car, ditching the phone, using turn signals, yielding to others, moving over and slowing down for road workers, drivers can work together to create a safer community on the road.
Safety is at the core of the tolling industry’s mission and everyone at TCA is personally committed to creating the safest road conditions possible for all road users, including commuters, long-haul truckers, families on the road for errands and vacations and our own road workers and first responders.
Did you know…
Road accidents are a global emergency. Globally, road traffic crashes remain one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Each year, there are approximately 1.19 million worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, certain groups are disproportionally affected, including roadway workers, young drivers (16-24) and vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists.
Be The Highway Hero
Safety isn’t someone else’s job—it’s everyone’s. Every safe journey has a hero:
On the ground: Crews and first responders rely on drivers to slow down, stay alert and move over.
Behind the wheel: Safe choices—like driving sober, slowing down and avoiding distractions—save lives.
Behind the scenes: Engineers, planners, communicators and dispatchers design, inform and coordinate the systems that keep us safe.
Your choices on the road affect lives. Read more about IBTTA’s campaign at: https://www.besafetogether.org/.
