Information & scholarships

As the nation’s leader in promoting roadway safety infrastructure, ATSSA recognizes the importance of inviting key transportation professionals to view the latest innovations the industry has to offer. ATSSA’s Annual Convention & Traffic Expo is an event that industry professionals anticipate each year to connect with peers, peruse the latest technology and introduce their innovations, products and services to the market.
 
Traffic Expo is the largest exhibition of products and services for the roadway safety infrastructure industry in North America. Industry products include flagging equipment, personal protective equipment and safety devices, lighting, pavement marking equipment and materials, signs and signals, traffic control devices, guardrail, message and arrow boards, vehicle safety equipment, trucks, trailers, attenuators, crash cushions and much more. This is a wonderful opportunity to see what new technology is being developed to save lives on our nation’s roadways and help support the missions of roadway safety companies and organizations around the world.
