New Road Knights gear up for engagements
TORONTO – The newly-selected team of road safety ambassadors, known as the OTA Road Knights, is getting ready to roll out and preach the virtues of trucking.
The Ontario Trucking Association’s Road Knights Team is a group of 10 professional transport drivers with first class driving records who make presentations on how all vehicles can safely share the road. The team’s mission is to help make our roadways safer by encouraging all road users to be partners in safety.
During their two-year term of service, the Road Knights help improve road safety and increase awareness of the economic and social importance of the trucking industry.
Beginning immediately, the Road Knights, all employed as full-time transport drivers, will step out of the cab one or two days each month to meet with the media and community groups such as business clubs, driving schools and community associations. They also visit community schools with their trucks to introduce young people to the trucking industry.
To schedule an appearance, contact OTA’s Rebecka Torn at 416-249-7401 or email at rebecka.torn@ontruck.org
