Road and Bridge Safety Award
Purpose: To
recognize townships that have undertaken road or bridge improvement
projects to increase public safety.
The contest is sponsored by PSATS, the Pennsylvania
Highway Information Association, and the Pennsylvania Department
of Transportation, and awards are presented at PSATS' state convention
each April in Hershey.
Eligible Projects:
Road and bridge improvement projects in which all or most of the
work was completed within the past year are eligible to enter. The
competition recognizes not only major, high-cost projects, but also
any improvements that have increased public safety.
How to Enter: Application
brochures are mailed to townships in early January. Townships must
complete the form and return it to their PENNDOT district municipal
services supervisor.
Entries should include a brief description of
the project on a separate sheet of paper. They also may include
documentation, such as:
- Accident reports
- A video (up to 10 minutes long)
- A Power Point presentation (version 7.0b
or lower)
- Photos (before and after)
- News articles
- Average daily traffic counts
Judging Criteria:
Judges will look at whether the project was cost-effective and improved
safety conditions, the alternative solutions considered, whether
the project was a cooperative effort with other municipalities or
groups, and how well the entrant documented the solution. Projects
must comply with PennDOT Publication 408 standards.
