WCHA is joining businesses, organizations, schools, municipalities, and individuals for the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Buckle Up Phone Down campaign.

Fedderly concluded, “We need to all work together to bring about changes to driver behavior and create a safer workplace for our dedicated county highway employees, as well as those on Wisconsin roadways,”
