Distracted Driving Enforcement Campaign April 6-13

The Governor's Traffic Safety Committee announced a dedicated enforcement period for distracted driving violations scheduled for April 6-13. The campaign involves heightened police presence and public education efforts targeting drivers who use mobile devices while operating vehicles.

Affected parties should be aware that standard traffic penalties for distracted driving violations remain in effect during and after the campaign period. Drivers in New York State should exercise additional caution regarding mobile device usage while driving to avoid citations. Transportation companies operating fleets in New York should reinforce distracted driving policies with their drivers.
