Trade a Traffic Ticket

Posted: Updated:
CUYAHOGA FALLS, OH (WOIO) -

Mayor Don L. Robart announced the start of the 4th Annual Trade A Ticket For A Toys For Tots Donation program with the Cuyahoga Falls Police Department this holiday season.

Citizens will have the opportunity to trade a traffic warning for a toy donation to Toys for Tots.

Over the next two weeks, Cuyahoga Falls police will issue "toy waivers" to replace a typical warning received for a minor traffic case. The toy waiver will encourage the minor traffic violator to donate a new, unwrapped toy to Toys for Tots. The driver will be told that the toy can be dropped of at the Cuyahoga Falls Police Department, 2310 Second Street, Cuyahoga Falls, OH 44221 between December 4 and December 17, 2011.

Mayor Robart stated, "in the spirit of the holiday season, I hope that the donated toys will have a positive and lasting impact on the children of our community and the drivers who are saved more than a few dollars in fines and court costs."

For additional information, please call the Chief of Police at (330) 971-8300.
