Do You Like Emergency Vehicles? Touch-A-Truck Coming To Fort Lee

FORT LEE, NJ —Fort Lee’s second Annual Touch-A-Truck will be held this Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

The event, held at the Jack Alter Community Center, is designed for those who love emergency vehicles and trucks to come enjoy them and touch them.

All are welcome, but there's a special time, from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., that's "quiet time" for sensory sensitive children — no lights, no sirens, no loud noises.

"Our Quiet House will also be available for those that need to unwind, decompress or just 'take a break' during the event," organizers said.

It opens to the rest of the public starting at 11:30.

"We encourage everyone to come out and see and experience Fort Lee’s emergency response vehicles and services to know what’s coming to help you in your time of need," organizers said. "Also, learn about services available for residents with disabilities."

For reasonable accommodation requests, contact Fort Lee’s ADA Compliance Officer Gregory Cervieri at 201-592-3500 ext. 1026.
For individuals with hearing and speech disabilities, the borough’s text number is 201-585-0476.
