Last year, ODOT reported that nearly 4000 traffic accidents in Lane County alone were less than half resulted in injuries. Approximate 30 of them were fatal.
With the help from a sheriffs Association grant, extra officers will be on the road this weekend.
"Our intent would be to encourage people to designate drivers and too find alternatives to transportation. we want them to have a good time but we want them to be safe. we don't want them to drive if they've been drinking," said Sgt. Fred Swank, with the Lane County Sheriff's Office.
Patrols will begin Sunday evening and continue throughout New Year's morning.
I hope everybody has a wonderful new year, and please be safe and don't drink and drive
