Impaired Driving Resources
Give your traffic safety efforts a boost by piggybacking on the next statewide impaired driving campaign, July 3 – 26. The campaign is a combination of enforcement and public awareness activities. Coordinated by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, Office of Traffic Safety, it will include more than 400 law enforcement agencies united under the theme “Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest!”
Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death in Minnesota through age 34 and the leading cause
of workplace death. Each year, alcohol-related traffic crashes in Minnesota kill about 200 people and severely injure nearly 500. Last year, the economic impact of these deaths and injuries cost the state over $225 million—impacting individuals and businesses alike.
Protect your workers and your bottom line by educating your employees about the dangers and
consequences of driving under the influence. Use the following resources and suggestions to write a
newsletter article, plan a "brown bag" lunch session or find materials suitable for posting. You'll
also find suggestions for involving your organization in broader community efforts.
