About National Public Works Week 

Each year, the American Public Works Association (APWA) sponsors National Public Works Week during the third week of May to pay tribute to public works professionals, engineers, managers and employees. The 2024 National Public Works Week theme is “advancing quality of life for all.” 

Public works professionals advance the quality of life by providing an infrastructure of services in transportation and stormwater treatment, public buildings and spaces, parks and grounds, emergency management and first response, solid waste and right-of-way management. They are the people who quietly work behind the scenes to make communities clean, safe and beautiful places to live, work and play.
