During Sunday’s Super Bowl LIX, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is teaming up with Carbon County police to remind drivers that Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk.

If you’re going to a Super Bowl party and you plan to drink alcohol, make sure you plan for a designated driver.

If you’re hosting a party, prepare plenty of food and nonalcoholic drink options for your guests, especially for the designated drivers. If you’re a designated driver, be the night’s MVP and keep that commitment front and center.

“The Super Bowl is a special night each year for our community to come together to celebrate, but we need responsible drivers on our roads,” said Joel Gulla of the Lehighton Police Department and the Carbon County coordinator for the North Central Regional DUI Enforcement Program. “If you are planning to be away from home during Super Bowl LIX, make a game plan to ensure you don’t find yourself without a designated driver if you need one. If you’re hosting a party, make sure you take care of your designated drivers.

Checkpoints

This year, the North Central Regional DUI Enforcement Program has announced sobriety checkpoints and roving patrols will be conducted Sunday through Monday on routes 54, 209, 248, 443, 902 and 903.

The North Central Regional DUI Enforcement Program reminds travelers that if they suspect a drunken driver they should call 911.

To report underage drinking, people should call 1-888-UNDER21.

The sobriety checkpoints are part of the North Central Regional DUI Enforcement Program.

Sobriety checkpoints and the Underage Drinking Enforcement Program are funded through the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
