BUZZED DRIVING IS DRUNK DRIVING
2024 Halloween Impaired Driving Campaign

About the Campaign

The 2024 "Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving" Halloween Impaired Driving Campaign will take place nationwide from October 25 through 31, 2024. This high-visibility enforcement and education campaign focuses on impaired driving enforcement and educating the public on its serious consequences.
 

Relevant, timely, and seasonal messaging can help strengthen traffic safety communication efforts.

This campaign is not reportable in Florida, so it is not necessary to track your agency's activity for submission to the Florida LEL Program. However, participation and education efforts are highly encouraged.
