According to AGC News, the Associated General Contractors of America, in partnership with construction software firm HCSS, is asking highway and transportation contractors to complete a brief work zone safety survey before the May 8 deadline. The survey gathers data on the frequency, severity, and impacts of work zone crashes, along with contractor input on potential solutions. AGC plans to use the results to support advocacy efforts around federal work zone safety standards.

What It Means for Subcontractors

Work zone regulations directly affect how road projects are staffed, sequenced, and bid, so contractor input now can influence rules you’ll work under later.
The survey is brief and your field experience with near-misses and crashes is exactly the data AGC needs to make a credible case to regulators.
Deadline is May 8. Access the survey through AGC of America’s website at agc.org.
