Winning 2025 Slogan Stresses Importance of Everyday Safety

Annually, the Delaware River Port Authority (DRPA) and Port Authority Transit Corporation (PATCO) conduct a contest for employees to submit entries for agency's annual Safety Slogan contest.

The winning motto for the 2025 contest was submitted by Noemi Jones, Administrative Coordinator, Bridge Operations, Ben Franklin Bridge:

'Model the Way- Choose Safety Everyday'

"Safety is not a choice, it’s a responsibility. Every action we take today ensures a safer tomorrow for all," said Jones.

The Central Safety & Health Committee’s Programs & Activities Subcommittee received 138 entries this year.

For the winning submission, Jones will receive a reserved parking space for one month, recognition on all Authority information flat screens and recognition at an Authority upcoming board meeting.

"We extend our congratulations to Cathy and thank her for taking the time to submit the Authority safety slogan for 2024. Cathy’s slogan serves as a reminder of our shared commitment to continue making employee safety and the safety of the public a top priority at the DRPA and PATCO," the Subcommittee said in a joint statement.

In addition, the winning slogan will be inducted into the Authority’s Safety Slogan Hall of Fame.
