Gov. Kathy Hochul announced that the campaign, which is part of a national "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" initiative, started Friday, Dec. 17, and will run through Saturday, Jan. 1.
Local and state law enforcement agencies will participate in the campaign.
“The holiday season is when friends and family come together to celebrate, and we are committed to making road travel as safe as possible during this time,” Hochul said. “As you travel throughout the holiday season, do the right thing and plan ahead for a safe ride home — it only takes one mistake for someone to get hurt.”
State officials said during the initiative last year, law enforcement throughout New York State arrested 2,067 people for impaired driving.
