The Travelin’ Traffic Ace campaign features police officers awarding travel mugs to drivers observe who display safe and courteous driving. The travel mug is refillable with free fountain soda pop provided by local participating businesses, and those who receive travel mugs are then eligible for the prize drawings. The campaign runs each summer from July to August.
