 The E-470 Transportation Safety Foundation was established in June 2001, in celebration of E-470's 10th anniversary. A nonprofit corporation, the foundation solicits and receives donations, bequests and grants as a means of promoting transportation safety. The funds raised for the foundation are designated for highway safety programs such as child safety seat inspections, seat belt safety, driver education, and defensive driving courses.

Child Safety Seat Inspections
Several times each year, the E-470 Transportation Safety Foundation sponsors child safety seat inspections at various locations throughout the Denver Metro Area. Certified technicians inspect children's safety seats, and at past events, the TSF has provided new child safety seats to those who were in need. According to Colorado Passenger Safety, nearly 90 percent of the seats inspected are improperly installed. To ensure the safety of Colorado's young passengers, the TSF hosts child safety seat inspections.
"Center for Transportation Safety" Simulator Program
In an attempt to educate students concerning driver safety issues, the E-470 Transportation Safety Foundation sponsors the Center for Transportation Safety Simulator Program. Free for students and schools, the Center for Transportation Safety provides a driving simulator, where high school students have the opportunity to experience different driving conditions. From snow, high speeds, effects of alcohol and other situations, the students experience the "drive" in simulated scenarios. Each student takes the driver's seat to test his or her driving skills.
For more information on the simulator program, contact Diane Lundquist at 303.537.3737 or dlundquist@e-470.com .
Golf Tournament
Each year the E-470 Transportation Safety Foundation holds a golf tournament to raise funds for transportation safety programs. The 2008 tournament raised over $15,000.
For more information, please contact Diane Lundquist at 303.537.3737 or dlundquist@e-470.com .
