One of the campaign’s objectives is to get everyone to play a role – no matter what they do or where they live and work. This video highlights the many ways that the Minnesota Department of Transportation and other state DOTs are leading in the areas of sustainability and environmental stewardship. The video – entitled “Every Day is Earth Day at Minnesota DOT” – features an interview with the agency’s commissioner, Margaret Anderson Kelliher. She also serves as chairman of the Committee on Environment and Sustainability for the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. Kelliher details the Minnesota DOT’s successful efforts to shrink its carbon footprint, advance renewable energy consumption, plus safeguard and beautify the environment around the construction sites managed by the agency. She also speaks candidly about her concerns and hopes for the future as we celebrate Earth Day 2021. yt:video:eNDtM5HyWvI eNDtM5HyWvI UCRFKEOFlKM6CtBf35bymOdQ aashtovideo https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRFKEOFlKM6CtBf35bymOdQ 2021-03-24T19:51:52+00:00 2021-03-24T19:51:52+00:00 AASHTO 2021 Benefits of Transportation Campaign Video This video outlines AASHTO’s report – entitled “The Benefits of Transportation: The 2021 Round-Up of State DOT Solutions that Deliver Benefits to Communities and Citizens.” This report and its supporting website showcase specific state department of transportation projects and programs that support economic development and improve people’s lives.

The meaning behind this year’s theme "Drive Safe. Work Safe. Save Lives.," is twofold. Drivers are encouraged to prevent the often-tragic consequences of work zone crashes by slowing down, following directions on road signs and by flaggers as they approach work zones. In addition, the campaign is reminding workers to follow important safety guidelines created to prevent worker deaths and injuries. The Michigan Department of Transportation is kicking off the 2021 National Work Zone Awareness Week campaign.
