10 Aug Astro Hosts Successful Safety Field Day with Florida Highway Patrol and Industry Experts
[Tallahassee, Florida] – In a continuation of their 50+ year commitment to providing the safest transportation in Northern Florida and beyond, Astro Travel invited the Florida Department of Transportation to participate in an unparalleled field day to help drive their common goals forward.
With the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) on the premises at Astro headquarters, it was a perfect time for FDOT to conduct thorough inspections of 16 Astros’ vehicles.
The FHP officers also led a detailed PowerPoint presentation aboard Astro’s 2024 H3-45 model. This session provided valuable insights to the drivers so they would know about the key aspects law enforcement agencies look for during over-the-road inspections. Astro’s team members came away with a better understanding of compliance requirements and safety measures.
Industry experts Eric DeGeorge from Prevost, Tim Guldin, and Roger Gregory from TEMSA were also present. They each offered extensive knowledge of the coaches associated with their brands and demonstrated the latest equipment features to the Astro team. This interactive afternoon allowed Astro’s team to explore cutting-edge technologies designed to enhance vehicle safety and performance and ask essential questions to the manufacturers of their coaches.
“The Safety Field Day at Astro was an excellent opportunity for us to collaborate with the Florida Highway Patrol and industry experts. We are committed to ensuring the utmost safety for our drivers, passengers, and the communities we serve. The event provided invaluable insights that will contribute to our continuous improvement in safety standards,” said Matt Brown, President/CEO at Astro.
Astro remains dedicated to upholding the highest safety standards in transportation, as seen in their company core values of Safety, Reliability, and Service. You can see that these values have become an internal part of precisely who they are. Astro is proud to have hosted this informative event and looks forward to implementing the knowledge gained from the Safety Field Day to contribute to safer roads for its drivers, passengers, and others traveling the roadways.
