In an effort to reduce serious injury and fatality crashes during the holiday travel season, the Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) is once again reminding all motorists to “Be Here for the Holidays” by promoting voluntary compliance with all traffic safety laws.

“Heavy traffic during the holidays is often combined with inclement weather,” said Colonel Brad Rice, Superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol. “By making motorists aware of our enforcement efforts we hope to encourage voluntary compliance and avoidance of crash causing behaviors.”

Be Here for the Holidays is a special initiative which includes the posting of times and locations of selected NSP traffic enforcements across the state throughout the holiday season. A link to the NSP Enforcement Activities Calendar can be found on the homepage of the NSP Website.

Colonel Rice said, “from our family to your family, we wish you safe travel this holiday season. Help us help you reach your destination safely. Always wear your seat belt and never drive impaired or distracted.”
