San Diego lifeguards will continue to use Toyota trucks for rescues under a plan approved unanimously Tuesday by the San Diego City Council.
The multi-year sponsorship agreement will save the city millions of dollars in vehicle costs and maintenance, according to documents released by the city.
Toyota dealers of San Diego will continue to provide the city with 34 rescue vehicles, including their maintenance and upkeep in exchange for putting the Toyota logo on the trucks and using the partnership in marketing materials.
City staff estimates the deal could save the city $4 million over a 10-year period if the contract is extended for that long.
