Shapiro Administration Reminds Drivers to Slow Down, Pay Attention in Work Zones

As the weather gets warmer and more construction projects get underway, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PA Turnpike) hosted an event today calling attention to work zone safety and urged drivers to slow down and pay attention in work zones.

The Shapiro Administration hosted the event along with the Associated Pennsylvania Constructors (APC). Governor Josh Shapiro proclaimed April 20-24, 2026 National Work Zone Awareness Week as part of the administration's mission to provide a safe transportation system for all Pennsylvanians. The theme of this year's awareness campaign is "Safe actions save lives."

"Even one fatality is one too many," said PennDOT Executive Deputy Secretary Larry Shifflet. "Last year, there were 12 fatalities in Pennsylvania work zones - and most of the deaths were drivers. Please slow down and pay attention in work zones. Your actions matter and it could save a life - maybe even your own."

Speakers in Order:
Larry Shifflet - PennDOT Executive Deputy Secretary
Mark Compton - PA Turnpike Chief Executive Officer
Robert Latham - APC Executive Vice President
Robert "Bobby" Bingaman - PennDOT Franklin County Maintenance Manager
Erik Hickle - PA Turnpike District 2 Superintendent
