Troopers will concentrate on speeding, failure to use occupant restraints, and other driving offenses as part of their enforcement efforts.
The program involves a combination of increased enforcement and public information designed to raise public awareness and compliance to all traffic laws. Speeding is a contributing factor in 31 percent of all fatal crashes nationwide. In Illinois, speed-related crashes account for over 40 percent of all traffic fatalities.
Safety belt enforcement zones may also be used during the sTEP program.
The project is funded by the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety.
