We Don't Claim Safety. We Score It.

Anyone can say "certified and compliant." PAVE™ is the operating system behind every SafeFlow crew — four pillars, measured every shift, built from 20+ years running multi-state field operations and auditing the exact standards your project gets inspected against.

UNCBA, Public Policy

Byron Johnson has sat on both sides of the contract — running 275+ field employees in the lane, and chairing supplier-diversity decisions inside a Fortune 500. PAVE is what he learned, turned into how SafeFlow runs.

Says "certified flaggers" and leaves it there.
Verifies every flagger is qualified to the state-approved program where the work happens — and tracks renewals so no one works on a lapsed card.
Sets up the work zone and hopes it passes inspection.
Builds to MUTCD Part 6 (11th Ed., 2023) and OSHA 1926 Subpart G — the standards the inspector carries — and documents it before the first lane closes.
Sends a crew and an invoice.
Sends a crew and a record — photo-documented setup, signed compliance, and weekly certified payroll (WH-347) on federal-aid work.
Treats struck-by risk as the cost of doing business.
Engineers it down — ANSI/ISEA 107 Class 2/3 visibility, FHWA Worker Visibility Rule compliance, and AFADs to keep flaggers out of the live lane.
Reacts when something goes wrong.
Designed to watch in real time — GPS/telematics and smart work-zone (ITS) visibility so dispatch sees the site, not just the schedule.
Diversity is a logo on the capabilities sheet.
Byron sat on the buyer's side of supplier diversity at a Fortune 500 — so SafeFlow strengthens your supplier-diversity numbers, not just your optics.

People

Workforce at Scale · 30%

A work zone is only as safe as the crew in the cones. SafeFlow is built around the people who run the lane.

  • Named field leadership on every job — the Field-Manager-over-Area-Supervisor structure Byron ran over 275+ employees.
  • Every flagger trained and qualified to the program their state recognizes, renewals tracked per worker so a lapsed card never reaches your lane.
  • A leadership pipeline promoted from the field — 4 Field Managers and 7 Area Supervisors developed — so crews are led by people who've run the work.
Byron's edgeBuilt and ran a 275-person, multi-state field organization at 20% year-over-year growth.

Accountability

The Paper · 25%

Every certification, work zone, and payroll documented, audit-ready, and matched to the rule that governs it.

  • A per-site audit trail — setup, sign-off, and field-audit notes you can pull in minutes for any inspector, GC walk, or incident review.
  • Certified-payroll discipline on federal-aid work — weekly Davis-Bacon payroll and a signed WH-347, because one bad payroll can freeze your contract payments.
  • Per-worker, per-state qualification records kept current, so proof of a compliant crew is always on hand — not reconstructed after someone asks.

Vigilance

Real-Time · 25%

A managed safety system that anticipates work-zone risk in real time — not a crew that reacts after something goes wrong.

  • Struck-by exposure engineered down — in highway work zones the majority of worker fatalities come from a vehicle striking a worker, so we spec Class 2/3 visibility and use AFADs to keep flaggers out of the live lane.
  • Designed for live situational awareness — GPS/telematics and smart work-zone (ITS) practices so dispatch sees the site, not just the schedule.
  • A regulatory radar — policy-grade tracking of MUTCD adoption and state rule changes, so a change reaches you from us before it touches a permit or a payment.

Equity

Bid-Winning Asset · 20%

Certified minority-owned status run as a bid-winning asset — opening doors most flagging vendors can't.

  • Pursuing the certifications that move bids — NMSDC MBE (51% minority owned, operated, controlled) and USDOT DBE under 49 CFR Part 26 — kept current by state and program.
  • Positioned as the diverse-spend subcontractor that helps a telecom or utility prime hit the supplier-diversity goals on its own scorecard.
  • Read from the buyer's chair — Byron sat on the supplier-diversity side at a Fortune 500, so SafeFlow knows what a sourcing team needs to award and defend the work.
Byron's edgeChaired a Fortune 500 Supplier Diversity Committee — rare buyer-side authority on how diverse vendors get picked.
"I didn't read about this work in a manual — I ran it. Four managers, seven supervisors, 275 people in the field. Safety isn't a slogan on the truck. It's the system — and I built the system."

Built by Operators

Not Outsiders — Operators

SafeFlow is led by Byron Johnson — a 20-year, multi-state field operations executive. He spent 21 years at Charter Communications building and standardizing field operations and chairing its Supplier Diversity Committee, then directed regional traffic-control operations over 275+ field employees while delivering 20% year-over-year growth.

As Eastern NC Safety Chairperson and a UNC Chapel Hill Public Policy graduate, he brings regulatory-grade discipline to every work zone — not a cones-and-vests vendor, but the operator who built the operating system SafeFlow runs on.

The PAVE Scorecard

A Number, Not a Promise

Most vendors claim they're safe and compliant. We grade it 0–100 across all four pillars — built from the same operator-grade field-audit discipline Byron ran across multiple states. A number you can act on, not a brochure you have to trust.

85–100

PAVE Elite · Audit-Proof

Qualified and current, documentation that holds up to any inspector or prime, struck-by exposure engineered down. The standard SafeFlow operates to.

65–84

PAVE Growth · Solid, Gaps to Close

The fundamentals are there, but documentation, payroll, or work-zone controls have soft spots that surface under audit or on high-risk jobs.

40–64

PAVE Transform · Exposed

Inconsistent qualification tracking, thin paper trails, or reactive-only monitoring — real liability and contract-payment risk.

0–39

PAVE Rebuild · Operating on Luck

Compliance is claimed but not provable. A single failed inspection or non-compliant payroll could stop the work.
