ROUND ROCK EXPRESS TEAM WITH TRAVIS COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE FOR “DRIVERS SAFETY WEEK"

The Round Rock Express announced today that the Pacific Coast League team is joining with the Travis County Sheriff’s Office on a “Drivers Safety Week” initiative.

“Drivers Safety Week” will take place in Travis County from March 7-12. The Express are donating tickets to 2006 home games at The Dell Diamond to the Travis County Sheriff’s Office. The tickets will be used as incentives to motorists to drive safely and observe traffic rules.

“The Round Rock Express are very pleased to be involved with the Travis County Sheriff’s Office in this worthwhile program,” commented Express Chief Executive Officer Reid Ryan. “It is in the best interest of all of us to promote safe driving, and this initiative will further that effort.”

During “Drivers Safety Week”, Travis County Motor and Traffic Units will be rewarding motorists who they observe to be driving safely and courteously and obeying the rules of the road. These individuals will be stopped by the officers and presented with a “Be Our Guest” card good for two tickets to a Round Rock Express home game,

“It is important that we patrol and enforce the traffic laws of the State of Texas, but it is equally important that we recognize the safe drivers of our community,” said Travis County Sheriff Greg Hamilton. “That is why we are pleased that the Round Rock Express have agreed to team up with us for this event.”

The program was introduced on a trial basis in 2005 and is being expanded to its own official week this year.

What's up with that?  If I'm getting pulled over don't give me baseball tickets, give me a get out of a ticket free card!
