100 Days of Summer Special Enforcement

(Lincoln, NE)- In an effort to reduce the number of fatal crashes on Nebraska roads during the heavily traveled months of May, June, July and August, the Nebraska State Patrol has instituted the new traffic safety initiative “100 Days of Summer”.

Each day from May 25, 2008 through September 1, 2008, the Nebraska State Patrol Field Services Division will work to hold at least one traffic safety enforcement operation somewhere in the state.  
 
Motorists can keep abreast of the planned special enforcements by visiting the Nebraska State Patrol web site at www.nsp.state.ne.us and clicking on 100 Days of Summer in the Quick Links box on the upper right hand side of the page.   The link will display monthly calendars, with each day listing the type of special enforcement planned and the location of the special enforcement.

The Nebraska State Patrol hopes by publishing the agency’s special enforcement efforts, the motoring public will be reminded to comply with all traffic safety laws during this busy travel period.

“It is our goal to reduce the number of fatal crashes on Nebraska roads,” said Field Services Major Russ Stanczyk.  “By publicizing our special enforcement efforts, we are asking motorists to partner with us in reducing crash causing behaviors.  It is our hope fewer crashes will result in fewer fatalities.”
