Tomorrow, April 14, the state Department of Transportation, Pennsylvania State Police and local partners hold a one-day a coordinated enforcement effort operation to stop aggressive driving.  

“Keeping our roadways safe is truly a collective effort,” stated PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. “We’re committed to reminding drivers to slow down, buckle up, and stay distraction-free, while also encouraging everyone to remain calm and courteous on the road. Together, we can make a difference.” 

“The Pennsylvania State Police is committed to enforcing laws against aggressive and distracted driving to reduce crashes and save lives,” said PSP Captain Jonathan Sunderlin. “Troopers will focus on drivers who are speeding, tailgating, not using turn signals, and driving while distracted. The Pennsylvania State Police is collaborating with law enforcement agencies across the state to ensure that this initiative is extensive and effective.” 

The coordinated enforcement is part of an aggressive driving enforcement wave running through April 26, focused on speeding, distracted driving, and work zone awareness. Drivers exhibiting other unsafe behaviors, such as driving too fast for conditions, following too closely, or making careless lane changes, will also be cited. 

PSP, as well as more than 80 municipal agencies, will utilize strategies such as traffic enforcement zones, saturation patrols, speed enforcement details, corridor enforcement, work zone enforcement, and multi-jurisdictional patrols to identify and cite aggressive drivers. Click here to learn more about the effort.
