EBENSBURG, April 29 – State Rep. Frank Burns, D-Cambria, will offer a state Transportation Department-approved class at the Ebensburg Senior Center that could earn participants a 5% automobile insurance discount for three years.
Burns said the discount, mandated by state law, is one benefit of the $16 class, which is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, May 14. The other benefit from the class is that it helps sharpen awareness for older drivers.
“My office has offered these classes in the past and they’ve been well received,” Burns said. “Any time we can do something to save seniors some money, while also helping them stay safer behind the wheel, we’ll do it.”
The Ebensburg Senior Center is located at 209 N. Julian St. This will be classroom instruction only; no on-the-road driving or classroom testing will occur.
Burns said the course is specifically geared toward mature drivers – those 55 or older – and provides them an opportunity to refresh driving techniques, regain lost confidence and develop a positive driving attitude.
Lunch is also available for a donation to the senior center.
To register or for more information, please contact Burns’ Portage office at (814) 736-7339.
Interested participants must provide their driver’s license number when registering. Registrations must be received no later than Wednesday, May 8.
