Pasco County Tax Collector Mike Fasano is partnering with AAA’s Auto Club Group Traffic Safety Foundation to encourage motorists in the county to take extra precautions and drive safely as summer continues on.
Through the Safe Summer Campaign, Fasano will promote the importance of staying safe on the roadway, especially as many families are preparing to go back to school and enjoy last-minute vacations, according to a release.
Tax collector offices will promote the foundation by encouraging customers to make a voluntary contribution of $1 or more, and get their name on a wall hanging. Customers who donate $2 will receive sunglasses, while those who give $10 will receive a AAA first aid kit.
Customers also can check off the box marked “ACG Traffic Safety Foundation” on the back of their vehicle registration renewal form if they choose to renew by mail.
“Traffic safety is an important part of our daily lives,” said Fasano, in a release. “With newly licensed teen drivers entering the road daily, to seasoned older drivers who have been driving for a lifetime, it is impossible to overstate the value of traffic safety. The foundation has many educational programs that provide needed assistance, training and other services to ensure that each driver is safe behind the wheel.”
The check-off promotions runs through the end of August, and can be made at all five tax collector locations in Land O’ Lakes, Wesley Chapel, Dade City, New Port Richey and Gulf Harbors.
