Local law enforcement agencies are joining the Illinois State Police to ensure holiday travelers are buckled up and driving sober.

State Police advise no matter how long or short your drive, remember to buckle up and ensure that children are correctly secured in a safe seat.

If you are going to be celebrating with alcohol or cannabis remember to make a plan for a sober ride home before you go out.

The “Click It or Ticket” and “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” enforcement campaigns will run from through December 2.

This Thanksgiving enforcement effort is made possible by federal traffic safety funds administered by IDOT.
