More than half of alcohol- related crashes during Spring Break 2022 involved young drivers (17– 30 years old) As spring break approaches, TxDOT is teaming up with college students to make sure their celebrations don’t have catastrophic consequences.
The “Drive Sober. No Regrets” campaign is traveling to college campuses and spring break hot spots across the state to spread the message that there is always a safe and sober way to get home. TxDOT is partnering with campus- based U in the Driver Seat and student leaders across Texas to reinforce this message with their classmates.
“Every death due to drunk driving is preventable,” TxDOT Executive Director Marc Williams said. “We want students to understand that it’s easy to celebrate spring break safely. By finding a sober ride, taking a cab, using a rideshare, or simply staying put after drinking, students can make sure their families gather for graduation and not a funeral.”
