The Car Care Council will help promote Drive Safely Work Week, Oct. 3-7. The ninth annual promotion is sponsored by the Network of Employers for Traffic Safety (NETS).

“So often consumers and the media focus vehicle maintenance attention on seasons and holiday travel,” said Rich White, executive director of the Car Care Council. "In reality though, most Americans spend much more time commuting to and from work."

Through the "Be Car Care Aware" consumer education campaign, the Council will help drive home the safety implications of proper vehicle maintenance during "Drive Safely Work Week."

In addition, as part of the "Be Car Care Aware" education campaign, the Car Care Council offers a free service interval schedule to help take the guesswork out of what vehicle systems need to be routinely inspected and when service or repair should be performed. The schedule can be printed from the website.The Car Care Council is the source of information for the "Be Car Care Aware" consumer education campaign promoting the benefits of regular vehicle care, maintenance and repair to consumers.
