Proclamation: Recognizing the Councilmember for a Day, by Councilmembers Jawando and Katz  

December is National Impaired Driving Prevention Month

The holiday season is a time for celebration, but it’s also a time to prioritize safety. Impaired driving endangers lives and is entirely preventable. This December, let’s commit to celebrating responsibly and ensuring the safety of everyone on our roads.
If you or someone you know needs help or information, here are some resources to support safe and responsible choices:

  • National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA): Find tools and information to prevent impaired driving.  Visit https://www.nhtsa.gov/drive-sober-december-and-every-month
  • Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD): Access resources for advocacy and victim support.  https://madd.org
  • AAA’s Tow-to-Go Program: A free service to ensure you get home safely. https://living.acg.aaa.com/auto/tow-to-go
  • Work together to prevent impaired driving and make this holiday season safe for everyone.
