An annual initiative that looks to take impaired drivers off the road during the holiday season is underway.

The Festive RIDE Campaign runs through January 3rd.

OPP in the Northeast Region charged 61 drivers with impaired during last year’s campaign.

Police are encouraging people not to drive after consuming alcohol or drugs and don’t let anyone you know drive impaired.

They also say arrange for a designated driver, take a taxi, or make another plan not to drive if drinking or consuming drugs.
