Mayor Invites Public to Come Out and Explore City Vehicles

DC government will hold its first “Truck Touch” event Saturday, August 16, 2008, from 10 am to 4 pm at RFK Stadium, Lot 7. Mayor Fenty invites the public to come out and climb aboard the nearly 30 vehicles—including fire, trash and dump trucks; one-stop mobile health and employment vans; and a police helicopter and a harbor patrol boat—used to provide vital city services. This is a free event.

The event will feature vehicles from the Departments of Employment Services, Health, Parks and Recreation, Public Works, and Transportation; Fire and Emergency Management Services, the Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency, the Metropolitan Police Department, and the Water and Sewer Authority.
