  • Operational Integration: Ensure seamless coordination between the sign shop, striping crews, and traffic control divisions to maximize resource utilization.

  • Technology Adoption: Drive the implementation of automated layout technologies (e.g., GPS-guided striping) to improve precision and reduce labor costs.

3. Safety & Compliance

  • Risk Mitigation: Maintain an industry-leading Experience Modification Rate (EMR) to ensure the company remains the preferred bidder for high-compliance federal and state contracts.

  • Regulatory Mastery: Ensure all operations comply with the MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) and OSHA standards.
