The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, the Pennsylvania State Police, and the Pennsylvania Insurance Department are working together to promote safe driving during the holiday travel season. Officials from these agencies will remind drivers to use seat belts, avoid impaired driving, and minimize distractions while on the road. They will also highlight ongoing enforcement campaigns focused on holiday travel safety.
The "Click It or Ticket" Thanksgiving Enforcement Mobilization began November 10 and will continue through November 30. In addition, the Holiday Season Impaired Driving Campaign started on November 19 and will run until January 1.
A press event is scheduled for Monday, November 24 at 11:00 AM at the PA Turnpike TIP Building in Middletown, PA. The event is set to take place outside at the back of the main entrance parking lot but may move indoors if there is bad weather.
