Fifty-three local law enforcement agencies in Lancaster, Adams, Perry, and York counties are joining Pennsylvania State Police and approximately 300 municipal agencies statewide to conduct a targeted aggressive-driving enforcement wave that began March 17 and will run through Sunday, April 27.

The goal of targeted enforcement is to reduce the number of aggressive driving-related crashes, injuries, and deaths on roadways throughout the state. Any aggressive driver stopped by police will receive a ticket.

The enforcement wave will focus on distracted driving, speeding, and work zone awareness. Motorists exhibiting other unsafe behaviors, such as driving too fast for conditions, following too closely, or other aggressive actions, will also be cited.

The enforcement is part of Pennsylvania's Highway Safety Program and is funded by part of PennDOT's investment of federal funds from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
