The “Heat is On” This Holiday Weekend

Statewide law enforcement officers will be keeping their eyes out looking for impaired drivers this weekend. 

The Colorado Department of Transportation, Colorado State Patrol and local law enforcement will conduct the Fourth of July DUI enforcement period beginning today and running through Tuesday. 

CDOT is also introducing a new campaign, Take Some Time, to encourage the use of smartphone breathalyzers as a way to prevent impaired driving. 

The new campaign aims to educate and raise awareness of the time it takes for a person’s blood alcohol level to return to zero after consuming alcohol.
