James Philbin and James Weist will address Fatalities in Work Zones and some of the root causes from their unique public safety backgrounds. The conference will conclude with a panel discussion focused on the topic of Complacency in Work Zones that can lead to tragic outcomes. \nAs part of the program\, the New Jersey Work Zone Safety Excellence Awards will be presented to recognize inspiring efforts of individuals\, companies and roadway agencies that have demonstrated effective temporary traffic control in planned work zones on New Jersey roadways. \nHosted by Rutgers Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation (CAIT) and the New Jersey Work Zone Safety Partnership (NJWZSP).
