                               RESOLUTION


 
    Recognizing the 50th anniversary of the American Traffic Safety 
 Services Association, the international organization for the roadway 
    safety infrastructure industry, celebrating its milestones and 
achievements, and its efforts on saving lives and reducing injuries on 
                        United States roadways.

Whereas, in 1970, the establishment of the American Traffic Safety Services 
        Association became an international organization;
Whereas the year 2020 marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the 
        American Traffic Safety Services Association;
Whereas the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A 
        Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), which established the Highway Safety 
        Improvement Program as a core Federal-aid program, created extensive new 
        resources and opportunities to advance highway safety throughout the 
        United States, resulting in significant reductions in fatalities and 
        injuries on United States roadways;
Whereas, in 1998, the Flagger Instructor Training course was developed, which 
        resulted in the American Traffic Safety Services Association training 
        approximately 50,000 flaggers every year;
Whereas, in 2013, the American Traffic Safety Services Association offered its 
        first online training course, the National Online Flagger Course, which 
        has grown to 8 online courses; and
Whereas the American Traffic Safety Services Association advocates to advance 
        roadway safety, infrastructure investment, and overall focus of moving 
        ``Toward Zero Deaths'' and reducing fatalities and injuries on roadways 
        throughout the United States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) commemorates the American Traffic Safety Services 
        Association's 50th anniversary;
            (2) recognizes the American Traffic Safety Services 
        Association for its work and dedication to advancing roadway 
        safety in the United States;
            (3) recognizes the American Traffic Safety Services 
        Association for its 50 years of strong initiatives to reduce 
        fatalities and injuries on United States roadways; and
            (4) recognizes the members of the American Traffic Safety 
        Services Association and all manufacturers, installers, and 
        distributors on its semicentennial celebration.
