Abstract:
STOP-DWI is an acronym for “Special Traffic Options Program for Driving While Intoxicated.” The New York State Legislature enacted the STOP-DWI program in November 1981, to empower counties in the coordination of local efforts to reduce alcohol- and other drug-related crashes, within the context of a comprehensive and financially self sustaining alcohol and highway safety program. This article discusses STOP-DWI’s deterrence model, its success, and milestones in the program.Keywords: New York State;
