Delphi Beams Giant Safe Travel Message on Building

20 December 1999

Delphi Beams Giant Safe Travel Message on Building
    TROY, Mich., Dec. 17 -- "Drive Safe, Drive Smart, Drive
Sober."  That's the message northbound I-75 drivers will see from Saturday,
Dec. 18 to Jan. 1, 2000, when passing the Delphi Automotive Systems
World Headquarters near the Crooks Road exit in Troy.
    The 25-foot high-tech, illuminated message, beamed onto the building's
south side, is a visible reminder to metro Detroit residents encouraging safe
and responsible driving during the holidays.  The message will be visible
during the high volume traffic "drive-time" periods in the morning and at
night.
    "We've enjoyed working with the Oakland County chapter of Mothers Against
Drunk Driving (MADD), the Ashley Marie Easterbrook Foundation of Troy and the
Troy Community Coalition to bring this message of safe and sober driving to
the community this holiday season," said John Pekarek, director of corporate
relations at Delphi.  "We applaud the many other metro Detroit-based companies
who are providing resources throughout the year to encourage everyone to drive
safe, smart and sober."
