Wayne State University (WSU) received a grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to develop safety and mobility guidelines for utility work zone traffic control. The overall objectives of this grant are to 1) develop utility work zone safety guidelines to assist transportation agencies, utility companies and contractors in achieving reductions in injuries and fatalities while complying with FHWA’s "Work Zone Safety and Mobility Rule", 2) develop a training program based on the developed utility work zone safety and mobility guidelines and 3) conduct "train-the-trainer" workshops at a national level and pilot training sessions on the methods and procedures of implementing utility work zone safety guidelines developed as a part of this project.
