(Black PR Wire) Clear Channel Outdoor has partnered with the Florida Department of Transportation’s “Drive It Home” campaign, with the unveiling of the new VIP celebrity billboard. The unveiling took place during the recent press conference announcing Aric Almirola of Richard Petty Motorsports to the team.

“We are delighted to be a part of this campaign,” said Kathi Rutter, public affairs director for Clear Channel Outdoor Florida. “We believe in this cause and look forward to continuing our partnership with FDOT.”

The state’s official Roadside Litter Prevention Education (RLPE) Media Campaign aims to reduce the incidence of littering on Florida highways, promote pride in the beauty of Florida’s landscapes and educate Florida motorists about the dangers and hazards of roadside litter. Built around the theme, “Drive It Home … Keep Our Paradise Litter-Free®,” the campaign enlists professional and amateur athletes from a variety of sports, who appear in various media outlets including radio, television, outdoor and newsprint. The campaign seeks to educate Floridians and visitors on litter issues and change their behavior by leveraging the influence of athletes portrayed in a high-visibility, multi-media campaign with television, radio and outdoor advertising components, as well as community events. The primary audience focus for the campaign includes driving motorists between the ages of 15 – 35.
