Kentucky Section ITE
June 2019
Happy June, KYSITE members!
Some friendly transportation reminders, as we approach summer and road trip season: stay safe in summer thunderstorms by making sure your windshield wipers are in good condition, pay attention to your tire pressure as changes in temperature can cause issues, and check your car battery as it's under a lot more strain in the summertime. We want you to remain safe and comfortable as you travel the roads this season!
When you're not on the road this summer, we hope you'll join us for some great events. Our golf outing will be on July 10th; you should have received the official invitation last week. This is a really fun event and a great place to network and support our scholarship fund. Then, later the same month (July 21-24), the International ITE meeting is taking place and our UK Traffic Bowl team will be competing!
As always, thank you for your continued support and please don't hesitate to reach out if we can be of assistance.
