For the 29th consecutive year, the Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Store Association of Kansas, or PMCA, donated gasoline to the Kansas Highway Patrol to fill up patrol cars during the holidays. Through the Holiday Highways Safety Program, the PMCA donated vouchers for more than 50 tanks of fuel for troopers to use as they patrol the highways from December 24 through January 1.
Last year, the provided fuel allowed the patrol to assist 1,386 motorists, remove 55 impaired drivers from the roadways and issue 532 citations for occupant protection violations. The donation last year contributed to the patrol’s efforts to keep the roadways safe during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. The donation this year will help further the Kansas Highway Patrol’s safety efforts during the holiday season.
