Governor's Council on Impaired Driving

Governor's Council on Impaired Driving On September 16, 2011, I signed an Executive Order establishing my Council on Impaired Driving. Sincerely,

Matthew H.

We’re dedicated to ending impaired driving in Wyoming by educating the public about the issues associated with both alcohol and drug impairment, while supporting strategies and programs designed to save lives. Impaired driving has touched thousands of lives reaching every corner of our state. We have taken important steps to curtail impaired driving during the last ten years, but there is more to

do. This year, I signed a new law which makes it more difficult for repeat offenders to avoid prosecution. Efforts to stop impaired driving are also benefiting from advancements such as ignition interlock devices, which prevent impaired drivers from starting their vehicles. I created my council on Impaired Driving to continue the fight against impaired driving and to help prevent impaired driving related deaths. The Governor's Council facilitates research, discussion and planning to reduce impaired driving in Wyoming. The Council is tasked with identifying priority issues, developing prevention strategies and tackling other initiatives to address the problem. I believe this Council is necessary to keep all of our citizens safe. Mead
Governor

Labor Day weekend is coming fast, but you've still got plenty of time to plan for a designated sober driver — think before you drink!

Thank you F. E. Warren Air Force Base for encouraging your Airmen to plan ahead for a safe ride home! Don't risk it, drive sober.

Plan ahead to protect yourself, your wingmen, and your community.

If your plans involve drinking, make sure your plans always include a safe, designated driver.

If you or a wingman find yourselves without a safe ride home, do not get behind the wheel. Call Airmen Against Drunk Driving (AADD) for a free, confidential ride—no questions asked.

In 2024, a person was killed in an impaired driving crash every 4.2 days.

Impairment doesn’t just include alcohol.

Whether you're in the city or in a small town, have a plan and thank your DD.

Let’s look out for each other and make Wyoming’s roads safer. Drive sober, Wyoming.

Using alcohol and ma*****na at the same time is likely to result in greater impairment than when using either one alone.

If you feel different, you drive different. Don't risk it, drive sober.

"I'm fine to drive" is a choice that ruins lives in a split second. Don't risk it. Drive sober.

Did you know one standard drink contains about 0.6 fluid ounces of pure alcohol? This exact amount of alcohol is found in 12 ounces of regular beer; however, a standard U.S. pint glass pour can range from 14 to 16 ounces, depending on the venue.

So, when you grab your keys and say, “I’ve only had one beer,” you may have actually consumed 33% more alcohol than you think. Don’t risk it, drive sober.

From August 19 through September 7, 2026, the Sheridan Police Department will participate in the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) 𝘋𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘚𝘰𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘳 𝘎𝘦𝘵 𝘗𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘖𝘷𝘦𝘳 campaign. As part of the annual high-visibility enforcement campaign, law enforcement officers in Sheridan and across the country will increase patrols from Aug. 19 through Labor Day to identify and stop impaired drivers.

In 2024, 30% of all U.S. traffic fatalities involved an alcohol-impaired driver, claiming 11,904 lives. Although alcohol-impaired driving deaths decreased by nearly 4% in 2024, an average of one person still died every 44 minutes in an alcohol-impaired-driving crash. 2024 is the last year for which figures are available.
