Texas Employer Traffic Safety Awards

Each year, the National Safety Council presents traffic safety awards to Texas organizations that encourage positive driver behaviors among employees on and off the job.

Recognizing Road Safety Champions

The workplace is a natural setting for distributing traffic safety messages and discussing driver behaviors — and it makes dollars and sense to do just that. Here’s why: By developing well-developed policies, providing education and offering incentives, employers can save lives and save money.

Increasing traffic safety education is a way to demonstrate your concern for the well-being of employees and their families. You act as a role model for others and have a chance to be recognized for your efforts through our awards program!

Here’s how it works:

Eligibility

Any Texas employer is eligible to submit an awards application. Anyone may nominate an employer, but self-nominations also are encouraged. Employers may be municipal, corporate, private or not-for-profit — small or large.

Each application will be reviewed individually based on its own merit.
