About Us
The American Public Safety Association (APSA) is a professional organization committed to setting the standard in flagger training, certification, and workforce development. We serve as a unifying body for traffic control professionals who are passionate about safety, structure, and service on America's roadways.
Our mission is to empower and equip flaggers with the skills, credentials, and support needed to succeed in the field of traffic management. Whether you're just starting out or advancing your career, APSA provides a trusted network of education, opportunity, and advocacy.
We are more than an association—we are a movement. APSA champions second chances by welcoming individuals from all walks of life, including veterans and returning citizens, and connecting them to meaningful work that makes a difference. Through ongoing training, exclusive member benefits, vendor partnerships, and industry visibility, our members become part of something bigger: a national force for public safety.
We believe that meaningful work can be a gateway to transformation—not just for the worker, but for families and communities.
Through ongoing training, exclusive member benefits, vendor partnerships, and career visibility, our members gain more than credentials—they gain belonging. APSA is proud to partner with local governments, contractors, schools, and employers to create a pipeline of certified flaggers who are skilled, compliant, and job-ready.
We lead with purpose. From our job board and mentorship opportunities to scholarships and industry events, APSA is dedicated to building a culture of excellence in traffic control and public safety.
At APSA, Founder Dr. Joyce Bellamy says APSA is founded on professionalism, purpose, and with the safety of people in mind. We stand together on the front lines of safety—protecting lives, creating careers, and paving the way forward. One flagger at a time.
