SEAT BELT SAFET Y
One of the safest choices drivers and passengers can make is to buckle up. Many
Americans understand the lifesaving value of the seat belt – the national use rate was
at 90.7% in 2019. Seat belt use in passenger vehicles saved an estimated 14,955 lives in
2017. Understand the potentially fatal consequences of not wearing a seat belt and learn
what you can do to make sure you and your family are properly buckled up every time.
WHAT’S THE RIGHT WAY TO WEAR MY SEAT BELT?
1. The shoulder belt away from your neck (but not off your shoulder) and across your chest
(between your breasts), making sure to remove any slack from your seat belt with the lap
belt secured below your belly so that it fits snugly across your hips and pelvic bone.
2. NEVER place the shoulder belt under your arm or behind your back.
3. NEVER place lap belt over or on top of your belly.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I AM INVOLVED IN A CRASH?
1. If the vehicle is drivable and there aren’t any injuries move the vehicle from the road way
to a safe location like a parking lot.
2. Contact 9-1-1 to report the accident. Check yourself for injuries and injuries of any
passengers.

STABILIZATION
Each year, the City of Auburn Hills embarks on an in-depth review of all the factors that are considered when setting
water and sewer rates for our customers. That procedure involves reviewing the costs associated with operation
and maintenance, future large capital projects, staffing costs, equipment costs, and so forth. These factors only
affect the City of Auburn Hills. However, there are many other factors that are considered when determining these
rates. The Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) and Oakland County Water Resources Commission (OCWRC) also
have their own list of factors and concerns that affect their budget, which influences the rate that the City pays
for these services. As you can see, this can become a very complicated and elaborate process to arrive at a water

For recycling to thrive, we need to recycle the YES thing and keep the NO things out. Auburn Hills will be conducting a Recycling Quality Improvement Program mid-April through June. Our representatives will be in your neighborhood on recycling days to open recycling carts and see what’s in them, possibly leaving behind a tag with feedback on what’s in your cart. Thanks in advance for putting the right recyclables in your cart. WHAT IS THE “FEET ON THE STREET” (FOTS) PROGRAM? The “FEET ON THE STREET” (FOTS) program coming to Auburn Hills this spring is an anti-contamination program developed by The Recycling Partnership (TRP) that is focused on optimizing the recycling system in your community. The program encompasses a combination of recycling education and recycling inspection at the curb to help drive positive behavior change that will improve the recycling for the good of the community. HOW DOES THE FOTS PROGRAM WORK? Program consists of three main communication elements: 1. Direct mail 2. Curbside Feedback (FOTS/Cart Tagging) 3. Top Issue Awareness Campaign Residents will receive a Recycling Information Card via direct mail. Quality Inspectors will then check recycling carts city-wide and tag carts found with the presence of the identified top issue contaminants with an “Oops” tag. Residents receiving an “Oops” tag will have their cart rejected for service. The resident will be asked to remove the contaminant before the next service week. Top Issue Contaminants are identified in the planning process by Waste Management. Residents will be informed of the top issues via a recycling information mailer. Within 3-4 weeks from distribution of the mailers, recycling Quality Inspectors will begin walking ahead of recycling routes and checking carts for items that should not be placed in their recycling carts. Quality Inspectors will only look for the pre-determined top issue contaminants.
