Shapiro Administration Promotes Safe Driving During Summer Travel


Shapiro Administration Promotes Safe Driving During Summer Travel

Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), Pennsylvania State Police (PSP), Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PA Turnpike) and Pennsylvania Traffic Injury Prevention Project (PA TIPP) came together to promote safe summer travel.

"I'm pleased to join my colleagues to encourage Pennsylvanians to keep safety at the forefront over the upcoming Independence Day weekend and all summer long," said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. "No matter where your summer travels take you, always drive safely. Designate a sober driver or arrange for alternate transportation. Put the phone down and keep your full attention on the road. And buckle up! Seat belts save lives."

Now through the Fourth of July Weekend, the Pennsylvania State Police and local law enforcement will conduct checkpoints and roving patrols as part of the Fourth of July Impaired Driving Campaign. This effort is funded through PennDOT's statewide annual distribution of more than $6.2 million from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for impaired driving enforcement.

Speakers Include:
Sec. Mike Carroll
Sgt. Logan Brouse, PSP
Mark Compton, PA Turnpike
Kelly Whitaker, PA TIPP
