Caltrans contracted with Sagent and Glass to create messaging that increases driver awareness and improves safety for highway workers. The positive impact campaign runs through March 31, 2016 and features children of Caltrans workers who urge drivers to be alert because their parents are at work. Billboards with the message strategically line busy highways.

Currently, Sagent contracts with Caltrans, various government agencies, non-profits and private entities to create campaigns that inspire people to live healthier, safer and more sustainable lives.
