With an approximate value of $164,000, The four-vehicle donation is the largest vehicle donation to a city by #Hyundai Motor America to date.

“Santa Cruz comes with powerful and efficient engines and superb maneuverability to ensure it is a pleasure to drive in urban or off-road environments,” said Trevor Lai, senior manager, product planning, #Hyundai Motor North America. “We are honored to help keep beachgoers safe in the City of #santacruz by supporting the City of #santacruz #marine #safety Division.”

The Ribbon-Cutting included remarks from Fred Keeley, mayor, City of #santacruz, Rob Oatey, fire chief, City of #santacruz, Nathan Nguyen, public works director, City of #santacruz, and Trevor Lai, senior manager, product planning, #Hyundai Motor North America.

“These vehicles are going to be game-changing in terms of bolstering our current fleet of vehicles that are available not only for patrol, but for the emergency response for the water rescues we have all year round,” said Rob Oatey, #santacruz Fire Chief. “Especially the way they are designed in terms of being lightweight and more compact. It provides better visibility. Our dense beaches can be extremely hazardous to navigate in vehicles, and the better visibility all around is going to enhance #safety.”

National Beach #safety Week is sponsored annually by the United States Lifesaving Association to remind beachgoers to use caution in the aquatic environment.

This year’s National Public Works Week theme is "Connecting the World Through Public Works," underscoring how public works connects us all through infrastructure and service, enhancing quality of life for the community.
