Summary

Overview

27-0343-25 Local Agency Impaired Driving Prevention - General I. INTRODUCTION The Impaired Driving Prevention Program (IDP) is an initiative of BSPE that promotes the safety and well-being of all people using Illinois’ roadways. This program is preventative in nature by focusing on solutions designed to create awareness and reduction in alcohol and drug-impaired driving through outreach. II. PROJECT GOAL To create a coordinated effort to address alcohol and drug-related traffic fatalities and serious injuries through outreach, education, and criminal justice. III. PREVENTION PROJECTS The objective of this activity is designed to increase public awareness and knowledge about alcohol and drug-impaired driving, promote safe and healthy behavior among underage and/or adult individuals, and to increase the awareness of the consequences associated with a DUI arrest, other sanctions for impaired driving, or an impaired driving motor vehicle crash. Public information and prevention education programs should consist of comprehensive, coordinated efforts that are designed to present a clear message that fosters the attitude that driving impaired by alcoholic beverages, cannabis, and/or other impairing drugs or substances is unacceptable, criminal behavior. These messages should be sustained and emphasize existing holiday enforcement campaigns and should also occur throughout the grant year. Additional prevention initiatives include educational programs and activities. These may occur through schools, community groups and/or religious organizations and may include parent education, formalized curricula, coalition development/community involvement, and peer education programs.
