UNIGROUP TAKES PART IN MODOT’S OPERATION ORANGE
Buildings and Landmarks Lit Orange to Promote Work Zone Awareness Week
|
|
| ST. LOUIS – UniGroup, Inc., the parent company of United Van Lines and other transportation-related companies, is proud to participate in the Missouri Department of Transportation’s Operation Orange effort to promote work zone safety. |
| |
Too many MoDOT employees can tell harrowing stories of near misses in work zones and accidents that left them in the ditch, on top of their truck or in the hospital. One message these workers have for Missouri motorists is: "When you see orange signs, they are there for a reason - Slow down and be alert." |
| |
| As highway construction again gears up for the year, MoDOT is working to prevent work zone accidents by reminding motorists, "Don't Barrel Through Work Zones." MoDOT is sponsoring Operation Orange for the third year to increase work zone awareness and honor fallen workers by lighting state landmarks orange during the Work Zone Awareness Week of April 6-10. |
| |
| UniGroup’s marquee has rotating messages designed to communicate the importance of work zone safety. Additionally, signs that say "Work Zone Safety Awareness...Drive Smart to Arrive Alive," are displayed throughout UniGroup’s campus, both inside and outside of the building. |
