6-State Trooper Project to Target Impaired Driving

COLUMBUS – The Ohio State Highway Patrol joined forces with members of the 6-State Trooper Project to enforce and raise awareness on impaired driving.

The project ran from 12 a.m. on December 6 through 11:59 p.m. on December 8. The high-visibility campaign included the Indiana State Police, Kentucky State Police, Michigan State Police, Pennsylvania State Police, West Virginia State Police and the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

During the initiative, OSHP arrested 219 drivers for OVI and educated motorists about the dangers of driving impaired.
