"We are extremely pleased to promote MADD's worthy mission around the Valley for the rest of the year," says Jim McClure, president of Arizona Color Promotions. "I can think of no better way of doing this than applying the wraps to Discount Cab vehicles, which will have an especially high profile at the biggest football game of the year."

Arizona Color Promotions designed wraps for two separate applications: a full coverage on 10 vehicles and partial coverage on the remaining 15. The company uses products from 3M Corp. specially manufactured for vehicle wrapping. Designs are produced on a large-scale printer and applied by technicians at the company's facility in Phoenix. Each vehicle wrapping takes about one day to complete and can last for as long as three years.

Ericka Espino, executive director of MADD Arizona, said, "This project will go far toward publicizing pub·li·cize

"Reducing the number of drunk drivers is perhaps the best way to promote safety for everyone on the road," adds Jeff de Laveaga, director of business development for Discount Cab. "MADD understands the human toll caused by drunk driving, and its message deserves maximum exposure. That's why we are happy to lend a portion of our fleet to this cause."

During Super Bowl week, approximately 150,000 tourists are expected in Arizona, which recently enacted some of the toughest drunk-driving laws in the nation. The state levels costly fines and a minimum sentence of 45 days in jail for so-called "superextreme" offenders whose blood-alcohol concentration registers 0.20 or above.
