Governor Kathy Hochul recently announced that more than 24,000 tickets had been issued by statewide, with 935 of them being for impaired driving. The enforcement period ran from March 15, 2024, through March 17, 2024.

“As I have said many times in the past, New York will be resolute in removing impaired and reckless drivers from our roadways," Governor Hochul said. “I want to thank our law enforcement officers for their continued commitment to protecting and keeping New Yorkers safe.”

These mobilizations of police officers on the road are coordinated at times of the year when we know there is a higher likelihood of individuals driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and they strengthen the ability of law enforcement to protect everyone on our roads during those periods.

As part of the enforcement, law enforcement officers also targeted speeding and aggressive drivers across the state.
