Ohio State Highway Patrol and OTSO Ramp Up Labor Day Enforcement to Combat Impaired Driving

This Labor Day weekend will mark the final days of the 2025 Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over enforcement campaign.

This is a timely opportunity to help inform the public about the dangers and consequences of impaired driving, in particular during the Labor Day holiday when impaired driving crashes tend to spike.

Throughout the weekend, drivers may notice a higher number of troopers and other law enforcement officers on the roads in an effort to promote traffic safety by stopping impaired driving.

These additional enforcements are, in large part, funded by Ohio Traffic Safety Office grants.

In 2023, alcohol was a factor in 30% of all traffic fatalities nationwide, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Franklin County has the highest number of impaired fatal and serious injury crashes in Ohio.
