About the Campaign

The holiday season is known for being merry and bright, but it is also known for being the deadliest season when it comes to impaired driving. Every holiday season, lives are lost due to impaired drivers. Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over is a national high-visibility enforcement campaign that focuses on the consequences of drunk driving and is supported by increased law enforcement. The 2024 Holiday National Enforcement Mobilization will run from December 13, 2024 through January 1, 2025. 

As law enforcement professionals and highway safety advocates, your efforts will help reduce the number of crashes and fatalities due to impaired driving. By increasing State enforcement efforts, raising public awareness through paid, earned, and social media, and maximizing your local resources, you can make a difference.

If your agency is in need of traffic safety materials to support this effort, please contact your District Law Enforcement Liaison (LEL) to request available resources.

This is a reportable campaign. Reports will be due by January 31, 2025 and may be submitted below or by clicking here.
