What is Highway Watch®?
Highway Watch is the highway sector’s National Safety and Security Program that uses the skills, experiences, and road smarts of America’s Highway Transportation Workers to help protect the nation’s critical infrastructure and movement of goods, services, and people.
Administered by the American Trucking Associations under a Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Highway Watch engages the highway sector’s leading organizations to provide safety and security training to hundreds of thousands of transportation workers throughout the country.
United Tractor Trailer School, Inc. is proud to announce that on November 13, 2004 in East Walpole, MA, our Operations Manager, John Moore and our classroom instructor, Thomas Sanocki became the first in Massachusetts to become Certified in this sector of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security known as Highway Watch. Mr. Moore and Mr. Sanocki were honored to be trained by Beatty, who is the former troop commander of the United States elite Delta Force and former CIA agent. Their certification is approved in Washington, D.C. under Homeland Security.
How does Highway Watch® Work?
Highway Watch contains three main components: Training and Recruitment; Information Sharing and Analysis; and Operations Support. Highway Watch participants include transportation and infrastructure workers, commercial and public truck and bus drivers, and other highway sector professionals who are especially trained by security professionals, law enforcement, and other expert personnel (first in Massachusetts to be able to train, John Moore – Thomas Sonacki) to recognize potential security threats as well as safety hazards on the road.
After completing the High Watch Safety and Security training, participants receive a unique idenitfying number that they can use to contact a call center to report a highway incident or condition. With millions of miles of highways, vast expanses of bridges, tunnels, and overpasses, America’s highway transportation infrastructure and its highway professionals comprise the backbone of the nation. Highway Watch’s professionals serve those systems day in and day out, with each and every mile. Help protect America.
