Peel Regional Police officially launched the Seasonal Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (R.I.D.E.) Campaign in partnership with Mother’s Against Drunk Driving (MADD). This initiative is part of our ongoing and collaborative efforts to reduce impaired driving and enhance road safety across Peel Region.
From November 16 to December 31, 2024, additional officers from Road Safety Services and divisions will be deployed to conduct increased roadside checks to ensure the community is driving safely and responsibly.
Officers will be reminding the public to not drive if they have consumed alcohol or any type of drugs, as well as ensuring they have a plan to get home by having a designated driver, an alternate place to stay, or using public transportation. Road safety is a shared responsibility.
While the Seasonal R.I.D.E. Campaign marks an increase in strategic enforcement, PRP remains committed to year-round education about the dangers of impaired driving.
We encourage you to keep an eye out on our social media to share road safety tips with your communities throughout the holiday season.
