Rhode Island participates in ‘New England Drive to Save Lives’ campaign
DERRY, N.H. (WJAR) — The six New England states are joining forces to help reduce speeding-related crashes and deaths on highways across the region.
Officials announced the “New England Drive to Save Lives” campaign on Monday morning, saying that they were hoping to help shift drivers’ mindsets and foster community responsibility amongst New Englanders on the roads.
As part of the campaign, officers will conduct increased patrols on the road. In addition, highway safety offices throughout New England will hold community outreach events and put public service announcements on social media.
“Throughout the Drive to Save Lives campaign, you will see additional Rhode Island State Police patrols on our highways and local road,” Rhode Island State Police Lt. Brendan Doyle said. “We’ll be working alongside our partners and police departments up and down Interstate 95, and across the state, with one shared goal- saving lives.”
