Hi-Lite Markings, Inc Changes Stripes
Latest News
Hi-Lite Markings, the leading airport runway and taxiway marking contractor in the United States, recently introduced a subtle change to their logo that signifies the end of an era, and the next chapter in the company’s illustrious history.
Since the late 1980’s, Hi-Lite has been running a full service highway marking division, primarily in New York State. They have also completed thousands of airport marking, maintenance, testing and consulting projects from coast to coast, on time and on budget. Over the years, the highway work has been steady; while the airport work has grown at an incredible rate, at home and abroad.
“After careful consideration, we decided that it would be in our and our customers best interest, if we put all of our employees talents and energy in to airport work and stopped working on highways all together,” said John McNeely, President of Hi-Lite Markings. “We made a subtle but significant change to our logo, the center line in the road was yellow, signifying a major highway, now the center line is white, signifying an airport runway. The re-designed Hi-Lite Markings logo represents our new commitment to focusing 100% on airport work. Select highway work in international markets is still being pursued.”
Known for their outstanding customer service and attention to detail, this new, exciting change at Hi-Lite Markings will provide the company with a tremendous opportunity to serve their airport customers even better than before.
“Incorporating our experienced, well trained field crews, office staff, and state-of-the -art equipment from our highway division into our airport division has been seamless and very effective,” said Cal McNeely, Vice President of Hi-Lite Markings. “Now we can offer our clients even more competitive pricing, unsurpassed service, and a quicker turn-around time.”

Agencies Combine Efforts to Enhance Safety for Motorists and Workers
The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), New York State Police (NYSP) and Associated General Contractors (AGC) joined today to deliver their annual message on the importance of worker and motorist safety in construction and maintenance work zones.
“Work zones are busy places with a variety of trades and equipment all working in unison to improve our transportation infrastructure,” said NYSDOT Regional Director R.
