"Smith Transport's support of this community-owned event demonstrates the kind of broad-based support that enables The International Tour de 'Toona to grow year after year," race director Lawrence Bilotto said. "On behalf of the thousands of central Pennsylvania volunteers who work all year long to make this event happen, I want to express my gratitude to Smith Transport."

Company Representative Tammy Roudabush said that Smith Transport has made its home in the Blair County area for over 25 years. "Our business, as we have grown has expanded to many other areas of the country, but we have kept our corporate headquarters here in the Altoona area.
