During the two-day forum, the OTS and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recognized 14 officers for their work taking suspected impaired drivers off California roads.
6/7: Meet and Greet with NASCAR Driver Ross Chastain
The OTS and Caltrans hosted a meet and greet with NASCAR driver Ross Chastain at the Sonoma Plaza. Chastain signed autographs, took photos, answered questions, and reminded attendees to “Go Safely.” NASCAR and non-NASCAR fans alike stopped by to take photos with Safety Sam (the Caltrans and OTS mascot) and Chastain’s show car encouraging people to “Use your melon and drive sober!” Several fans also took the pledge to never drive intoxicated and to be a traffic safety champion.
