It is Crash Responder Safety week, and Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) HELP Truck drivers are often the first to respond to incidents on our state’s busiest roadways to minimize traffic congestion and the risk of secondary crashes with safe, quick clearance.?Unfortunately, they frequently become the victim of a crash themselves. So far this year, 20 HELP Trucks have been hit with significant damage and five HELP Operators have been injured.?If you see them on the road, we ask that you move over and slow down.

It’s not too late to participate in No Trash November! This statewide initiative empowers organizations to take action and help keep Tennessee clean and beautiful. See how your organization can get involved and make a lasting impact here: https://lnkd.in/gEK4XtUT

On Veterans Day, and every day, we honor those who’ve served in the United States Armed Forces. Among the services offered to veterans by the state of Tennessee, TDOT has set aside a special parking space for veterans at certain Welcome Center & Rest Areas across the state. These were recently unveiled at the I-75 Welcome Center near the TN/GA line and the I-65 Welcome Center near the TN/AL line. We hope it will make veterans’ travel just a little bit easier. #mytdot #veteransday #honoringveterans
