              AMERICAN TRAFFIC SAFETY SERVICES ASSOCIATION

  (Mr. WITTMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the American 
Traffic Safety Services Association upon its celebration of its 40th 
anniversary this past year. Headquartered in Fredericksburg, Virginia, 
ATSSA represents 1,600 member companies and individuals in the roadway 
safety infrastructure industry and has been the Nation's leading voice 
in roadway safety.
  Recently, ATSSA has committed to reducing American roadway fatalities 
from the current average of 40,000 to zero through its reauthorization 
policy Toward Zero Deaths.
  Since 2006, ATSSA has trained over 15,000 work zone workers in safety 
and proper setup and maintenance of work zones, helping to reduce the 
number of deaths for work zone workers and motorists. ATSSA members 
also help ensure that travel is as safe as possible.
  For the past 40 years, ATSSA has been improving roadway safety, 
raising awareness of the importance of roadway safety, and training 
Americans on proper roadway safety. It is my hope that they will 
continue those efforts for the next 40 years and beyond.
