Since 1991, our tireless efforts, collaboration, and vigilance have resulted in more than 100,000 lives being saved on our nation\u2019s roadways. It takes all of us to stop impaired driving, and through the years we have worked tirelessly to prevent impaired driving and empower adults of legal drinking age who choose to drink to make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.responsibility.org\/tips-for-drinking-responsibly\/\">responsible alcohol choices<\/a>.&nbsp; Going out? If alcohol is involved, plan for your own safety and the safety of your friends by arranging in advance to use ride share services, designate a driver, or make other arrangements to get to and from your gathering. Be a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.responsibility.org\/hosting-responsibly\/\">responsible host<\/a> by never serving anyone under the legal drinking age of 21, provide water and drink choices that do not include alcohol, having food available, and making sure everyone has a safe ride home. Remember, your responsible choices could save your life and the lives of those you care about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In collaboration with our many partners, we have created critical and accessible resources and programs to support professionals engaged in all aspects of the DUI system. This system is comprised of members of the traffic safety field working together to eliminate impaired driving such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.responsibility.org\/resources\/?_resource_categories=policymakers#resources\">policymakers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.responsibility.org\/resources\/?_resource_categories=law-enforcement\">law enforcement<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.responsibility.org\/resources\/?_resource_categories=practitioners#resources\">practitioners<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.responsibility.org\/resources\/?_resource_categories=judges#resources\">judges<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.responsibility.org\/initiatives\/cars-screening-and-assessment-tool-for-dui-offender-population\/\">treatment professionals<\/a>. These partnerships have allowed us to reach new audiences to further our missions and save lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years we\u2019ve been able to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Work with policymakers to strengthen state and federal drunk and drug-impaired driving laws.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide data, prevention tools, advanced technology targeting recidivism, and resources for professionals (including policymakers) to support their efforts to eliminate impaired driving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Champion efforts and policies to strengthen the effective use of ignition interlock devices for all impaired drivers. Many states have passed strong all-offender laws, or at a minimum, required high-BAC repeat offenders to install ignition interlocks, and have passed laws that dictate when ignition interlocks may be removed from drunk driving offenders\u2019 vehicles. We continue to focus on improving the implementation of programs and strengthening interlock program infrastructure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enhance the training, detection, prosecution, toxicological testing, of impaired drivers. &nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Promote screening and assessments of impaired drivers to identify substance abuse and mental health disorders in order to prevent recidivism.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To be successful in our mission to eliminate impaired driving, educating the public and working with experts at every level of the DUI system is critical. Using the resources below, learn more about DUI prevention and countermeasures, what to do about repeat offenders, multiple impairing substance-impaired driving, and access DUI data for each state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a id=\"_msocom_1\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading has-ast-global-color-0-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b7e45b485892e7000e015da852404a08\" id=\"h-featured-resources\">Featured Resources <\/h6>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-separator uagb-block-f4ebd7e4\"><div class=\"uagb-separator-spacing-wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-uagb-separator__inner\" style=\"--my-background-image:\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.responsibility.org\/dui-duid-policy-checklists-for-legislators\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DUI\/DUID Policy Checklists for Legislators<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.responsibility.org\/initiatives\/cars-screening-and-assessment-tool-for-dui-offender-population\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CARS &#8211; Screening &amp; Assessment Tool<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.responsibility.org\/high-risk-impaired-driving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stop High-Risk Impaired Driving (HRID)<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-3 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.responsibility.org\/policy-positions-and-recommendations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Policy Positions and Recommendations<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.responsibility.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/RO_Missions_and_Programs.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Responsibility.org<br>Mission &amp; Programs<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-4 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.responsibility.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/RO_CoreFour_OnePager_2024.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Core Four: Principles of Responsible<br>Alcohol Delivery<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ndaa.org\/resource\/cannabis-impairment-detection-workshop-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cannabis Impairment Detection Workshop Guide<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-6 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/nasid.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Alliance to Stop Impaired Driving<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our mission is to lead the efforts to eliminate drunk driving.
