As the national conversation turns to infrastructure and the safety of those who toil away to maintain our roads, bridges, and more, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation is making a plea to the public. Tomorrow, April 15, marks "Wear Orange Day," an initiative aimed at boosting awareness around work zone safety.

In a social media call-to-action, Oklahomans are being encouraged to don the vibrant hue as part of the #MakeOklahomaSafe campaign—a visual shout-out to construction workers who risk their lives every day.

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation posted on Facebook, asking people to "Wear orange for Work Zone Safety!" They are urging the community not only to wear orange but also to share their support by tagging the department or emailing photos to feature them on statewide social media channels. Efforts like this help raise awareness, shift public perception, and support safety-focused policies.
