While representatives will be at these five plazas to answer questions, additional information will be available for free at every service plaza on the Turnpike for adults to learn more about the risks, ways to protect their children and the resources available to them. There will also be free, give-away items for children to keep them busy while traveling.
“The key to child safety is arming children with information that empowers them to make smarter and safer decisions, says John Ryan, NCMEC president and CEO. “We are grateful to the PTC for helping us reach so many families throughout Pennsylvania with this potentially lifesaving information.”
