Impaired Driving

 

 

 

 

Nebraska Impaired Driving Task Force

The Impaired Driving Task Force (IDTF) was initially convened in April 2017 to discuss the impaired driving issues in the State, the challenges that need to be addressed, ongoing and planned initiatives, and potential new strategies for further consideration.  The Task Force represents many agencies and organizations across all geographic areas of the State including law enforcement, driver licensing, treatment, highway safety, research and advocacy and non-profit groups whose missions include addressing impaired driving.

 

Under the direction and contribution of the statewide IDTF, the purpose of the Nebraska Impaired Driving Strategic Plan (IDSP) is to provide a comprehensive strategy for preventing and reducing impaired driving. The Plan provides data on the impaired driving problem in Nebraska, documents ongoing initiatives to address various aspects of the problem, and discusses potential new strategies.

 

The Nebraska Department of Transportation Highway Safety Office (NDOT-HSO) will manage the IDTF as a priority program. The strategies and targets developed by the IDTF will be tracked for progress along with all impaired driving projects by the NDOT-HSO.
