Moeris Acquires Stay Safe Traffic Control for Southeast Expansion

Moeris, a national force in roadway safety and traffic management solutions, has significantly amplified its footprint in the Southeast by acquiring Stay Safe Traffic Control. This strategic move, finalized on June 18, 2026, integrates a well-established North Carolina-based entity into Moeris' expanding operational network, underscoring the company's commitment to methodical geographic expansion and operational synergy.

The acquisition of Stay Safe Traffic Control, a provider of comprehensive work zone safety and traffic control services since its inception in 2016, adds substantial capabilities to the Moeris platform. With existing operations in Garner and Angier, North Carolina, Stay Safe Traffic Control brings a team of ATSSA- and DOT-certified professionals adept at managing complex work zone environments across the region. This integration is expected to enhance Moeris' service delivery and market penetration within this vital economic corridor.

This latest addition marks Moeris' fourth operating business, joining a portfolio that includes Colorado Barricade, Pavement Surface Control, and Richmond Traffic Control. These entities collectively serve diverse markets spanning the Rocky Mountain region, the Pacific Northwest, the Mid-Atlantic, and now, with the inclusion of Stay Safe Traffic Control, a more robust presence in the Southeast. Moeris' core offerings encompass traffic control, barrier systems, pavement marking, and sign installation, catering to the demanding needs of the infrastructure and heavy civil construction sectors.

The U.S. traffic control services market is a critical component of infrastructure development and maintenance, projected to experience steady growth driven by increased government spending on road repairs and new construction projects. Industry analysts note that the demand for specialized safety services, particularly in work zones, is escalating due to stricter regulatory compliance and a heightened focus on worker and public safety. The consolidation trend within this sector, as exemplified by Moeris' expansion, reflects a drive for scale, efficiency, and broader service capabilities.

Tom Harper, CEO of Moeris, articulated the company's vision, stating, "Our objective is to cultivate the nation's premier traffic control and work zone safety platform through deliberate expansion and an unwavering dedication to superior performance." The acquisition of Stay Safe Traffic Control directly supports this ambition by integrating a reputable regional player with a proven track record.

In a move designed to ensure continuity and leverage existing expertise, Stay Safe Traffic Control will continue to operate under its established name. The leadership team, headed by owner David Chamblee, along with its current locations and operational framework, will remain intact. This approach aims to preserve the company's strong customer relationships and its reputation for exceptional service and safety standards, while benefiting from the resources and national reach of Moeris.

This expansion positions Moeris to capitalize on the significant infrastructure investment occurring across the Southeast. The integration of Stay Safe Traffic Control not only broadens Moeris' geographic reach but also deepens its service portfolio, enabling the company to offer a more comprehensive suite of solutions to clients undertaking major transportation and civil engineering projects in the region.
