FORT WAYNE, IN - Indiana State Troopers from the Fort Wayne Post will be conducting targeted patrols over the next few days, specifically to combat impaired and dangerous driving behavior.
The March 17th-20th timeframe for these patrols coincides with both St. Patrick's Day and the NCAA Tournament festivities, a time of year known for excessive partying and impaired driving. Troopers will be out in full force in an effort to keep Hoosier roadways safe & sober.
Hoosiers that plan to partake in this weeks festivities are encouraged to party responsibly by having a plan in place to get home safely.
Through a new pilot program, Sober Ride Indiana, $15 ride credits will be available for the first 10,000 Uber and Lyft rides (total) in select cities from March 12, to April 5, 2021 – chosen to discourage impaired driving, primarily around St. Patrick’s Day and the NCAA Tournament.
