Houston, TX – With recent data from state and federal agencies highlighting a troubling number of work zone incidents across Texas, Harris County remains a significant area of concern. These statistics represent a clear and present danger to the hundreds of road crews working on Houston's highways.
In a direct response to this documented risk, Regional Traffic Services is intensifying its efforts to equip contractors with a proven safety solution: the crash truck rental.
"The statistics are deeply troubling, but we never forget that behind every number is a person who didn't make it home," says Stan Navratil, CEO of Regional Traffic Services. "Our entire focus is on providing a physical barrier that can prevent these tragedies before they happen."
A Proactive Defense Against a Documented Danger
A work zone intrusion - when a vehicle breaches the designated work area - is one of the most common causes of injury and death for roadside workers.
A crash truck, or Truck Mounted Attenuator (TMA), is specifically engineered to prevent this. It serves two functions: first, its high-visibility arrow board and lighting act as an unmistakable advanced warning to drivers.
Second, its energy-absorbing cushion provides a physical barrier capable of stopping an errant vehicle, protecting the lives of the crew members ahead. This equipment is the direct countermeasure to the primary threat highlighted by safety statistics.
"In a high-traffic environment like Houston, relying on cones and lights alone is a gamble. The data shows that intrusions happen," explains Navratil. "A crash truck is not an optional upgrade; it's an essential piece of safety infrastructure for any crew working near live lanes."
Making Proven Safety Accessible to Houston Contractors
Recognizing the urgent need for better protection, Regional Traffic Services makes this life-saving equipment accessible to projects of all sizes through a flexible crash truck rental model. This allows contractors working on short-term repairs or in specific high-risk phases of a larger project to deploy the highest level of protection without the significant capital expense of purchasing a vehicle.
By removing the financial barrier, the company is empowering all contractors to elevate their worksite safety standards.
"Our mission at Regional Traffic Services is to make work zones safer, period," adds Stan Navratil. "By making this equipment readily available, we're empowering every contractor in Houston to be part of the solution and help us bring those numbers down."
