Honk If You Like Trucks!UM-Flint Hosts Touch a Truck Event

On Saturday, September 26 from 11am to 3pm, families met up at Flint’s White Building parking lot to get a fun and informative front-row seat with about 40 different types of safety vehicles. Some of the vehicles included ambulances, a helicopter, police vehicles, and semi-trucks. This 4th annual, free event is designed to build relationships between the police, students, and the Flint community, but it is also a truck-load of fun for children and their families! Those who attended were able to sit in the driver’s seat of safety vehicles and see how they work, in hopes of showing law enforcement and other emergency workers in a positive light.
