These resources have made it possible for us to share information and video as it happens. It is encouraging to see so many people interested in our message and our story,” said Charles Territo, VP of Communications at ATS. “ATS began utilizing social media as a means of connecting with the close to 70 percent of the public who support what we do. We look forward to growing our fan base and increasing awareness of our technology and the devastating consequences of unsafe driving.”
