ATA and National Safety Council to Demo Highway Safety Measures

                Share the Road Program Visits Kansas City
                   with Life-saving Highway Safety Tips

      Though up to 134,000 Vehicles Travel I-70 Through Kansas City
      Daily, Most Automobile Drivers are Never Taught What They can
        do to Avoid Initiating an Accident With a Tractor-Trailer

  Who:           Professional truck drivers, the American Trucking
                 Associations (ATA), The Safety & Health Council of Western
                 Missouri and Kansas, the Missouri Highway Patrol, and the
                 Kansas City Police Department.

  What:          A demonstration of highway safety measures will be
                 conducted for local news media, including "ride-alongs" in
                 tractor-trailers, as part of the national Share the Road
                 tour visiting Kansas City, MO.

  When:          Thursday, April 22nd, 10:00 AM

  Where:         SAIA, Inc., 1534 N. Jackson, Kansas City, MO (see driving
                 directions below.)

  Summary:       Professional truck drivers with millions of miles of
                 accident-free driving, ATA, and The Safety & Health Council
                 of Western Missouri and Kansas, will demonstrate safe
                 driving measures key to reducing crashes on Kansas and
                 Missouri highways.  The demonstration will include truck
                 ride-alongs for news reporters and photographers, and tips
                 on blind spots, safe-merging techniques, and safe stopping
                 and following distances.

                 This highway safety program is critical for Kansas and
                 Missouri drivers because:

                 * 35% of all truck-involved highway fatalities occur in a
                   truck's blind spots*

                 * Most drivers were never taught how to share the road
                   safely with trucks

                 * Watching this demonstration will help reduce accidents

  Directions:    From Kansas City take I-35 north.  Take the Front Street
                 exit before the river and go east.  Go left on N. Jackson.
                 The SAIA (formerly Clark Bros.) terminal is 1/2 mile on the
                 left.
