DPS is reminding everyone of some simple tips to help keep all Texans safe this spring break

Waco, TX – According to the statement, through March 19, the Texas Highway Patrol is increasing its presence on the roads as part of a spring break and St. Patrick’s Day enforcement campaign.

Troopers will be out looking for people who are violating traffic laws as part of Operation CARE (Crash Awareness and Reduction Effort).

DPS Director Steven McCraw released the following statement

“We know families and young adults are anxious to hit the road or get away for spring break, and safety must continue to be a priority.

No matter where you’re traveling, please follow the traffic laws, be aware of your surroundings, report suspicious activity and do your part to keep everyone safe.

We need everyone working together to ensure this spring break is a safe one for Texans.”
