With holiday travel just around the corner, the Shapiro Administration is reminding drivers to wear their seat belts, drive sober, and eliminate distractions behind the wheel. Today, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), Pennsylvania State Police (PSP), Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA), Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PA Turnpike), National Weather Service (NWS), and AAA came together today to remind drivers to wear their seat belts, drive sober, and eliminate distractions behind the wheel. "We must all do our part to prevent crashes and fatalities," said PennDOT Executive Deputy Secretary Cheryl Moon-Sirianni. "No matter how far or near you travel, we want everyone to arrive safely. Please designate a sober driver this holiday season. And buckle up! Your seat belt is your best defense against reckless drivers." Operation Safe Holiday kicks off today with the "Click It or Ticket" Thanksgiving Enforcement Mobilization running through November 26. Aiming to keeping Pennsylvania's youngest travelers safe on the road, PSP will hold child safety seat fitting clinics at several locations across the state.
