Less than a week to go until Christmas, Capitol Cab in Carson City finished collecting toys for its annual Toys For Tots campaign, which began on Black Friday this year and ended this morning, said campaign organizer and taxicab driver Mark Shepler.

Each year, the holiday brings an increase of alcohol consumption, resulting in the surge of injuries and fatalities on Nevada’s roadways. With impaired driving and riding a top traffic problem for Nevada, the Carson City Sheriff’s Office is working in conjunction with agencies statewide aligned with Joining Forces to boost enforcement efforts from Dec. 16, 2016 through Jan. 3, 2017.

Capitol Cab is once again helping out Toys for Tots this year. Any taxi can serve as a Toys for Tots drop off location, and participating drivers are also taking donations to benefit Toys for Tots.
