AAA To Highlight Commuter Nightmares During Nets' `Drive Safely Work Week'
WASHINGTON, D.C.--Aug. 31, 2000--AAA will release its latest update of the nation's worst commuter hot spots at a press conference here on Monday, Sept. 11.
Local press conferences also will be held in each of the cities on AAA's Top 10 list of commuter nightmares.
The release will kick off the fourth annual Drive Safely Work Week (DSWW), Sept. 11-15. Sponsored by the Network of Employers for Traffic Safety (NETS), DSWW marks a time of year when the summer vacation season is coming to a close and traffic headaches and hazards are increasing for millions of motorists on their daily commutes to and from work.
"Traffic crashes cause untold human suffering, and cost U.S. businesses billions of dollars a year," said Kathy Lusby-Treber, Executive Director of NETS. "AAA and NETS want to remind employers that whether employees drive for work or just to and from work, traffic crashes can and do happen to anyone."
