Law enforcement agencies throughout Illinois participated in this effort to save lives by getting impaired drivers off the roads and more people buckled up. The enforcement campaign took place from Dec. 17, 2021 through Jan. 3, 2022.

During the mobilization, extra emphasis was placed on enforcement during late-night hours, when statistics show the most unbuckled and impaired driving fatalities occur.

The Holiday Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over enforcement effort was made possible by federal traffic safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
