About Work Projects America

Work Projects America is a public service media initiative inspired by the bold civic campaigns, educational posters, and community-building spirit of America's historic Works Progress Administration (WPA) era.

The organization develops modern public-interest campaigns focused on:

• Driver safety

• Community responsibility

• Public courtesy

• Worker respect

• Civic awareness

• Safer neighborhoods

• Public education

Using vintage-inspired WPA-style graphics combined with modern digital media, Work Projects America seeks to revive the tradition of strong American public service messaging for the internet age.

The organization believes:

• Strong communities are built together

• Public messaging should serve the public good

• Workers deserve respect and visibility

• Civic pride still matters

• Safety campaigns can save lives

Current campaigns include:
"Respect the Road — Someone's Dinner Is on the Way," a driver safety initiative developed with Dial Deliver to encourage safer driving habits and greater awareness of delivery workers on America's roads.

Work Projects America draws inspiration from the original WPA campaigns of the 1930s and 1940s, which promoted:

• Public safety

• Literacy

• Transportation awareness

• National parks

• Public health

• Community cooperation

• Civic engagement

Today, Work Projects America adapts that same bold visual style and community-focused spirit for social media, digital advertising, public posters, and educational campaigns.
