USC Named Banner Community
Mock Crash Demonstration
Upper St. Clair Township was recently named a 2016 Banner Community by the Allegheny League of Municipalities (ALOM), demonstrating a commitment to professional development, prudent fiscal management, and sound community engagement. The Township has been recognized each year since the program’s inception in 2013. n
Life happens, and so do car accidents. This past spring, the Upper St. Clair Police Department demonstrated to students at the high school how vehicular mishaps can happen to any of us at anytime due to distractions while driving, driving under the influence, or a myriad of other reasons. While we should always obey the laws of the road and conditions of the roadways, certain “don’ts” were stressed at the demonstration to help remind the students what not to do while behind the wheel: don’t text, don’t play your music too loud, don’t be on the phone, and never drink and drive. n
