Blair County DUI Task Force to Increase Memorial Day Patrols

State and local enforcement will focus on impaired driving, checkpoints, and holiday travel safety across the county.

Blair County drivers should expect increased DUI enforcement over Memorial Day weekend, according to local reporting on the Blair County DUI Task Force.

The task force is expected to patrol area roads for impaired drivers, and Pennsylvania State Police have also announced Memorial Day DUI enforcement efforts in nearby counties with DUI checkpoints and roving patrols.

The Blair County effort is part of a broader holiday safety push that typically includes attention to impaired driving, seat belt use, speed, and other aggressive driving behaviors. State police said checkpoint stops are intended to be brief and routine, and drivers should have their license and registration ready if stopped.

Pennsylvania State Police reported 108 alcohol-related crashes statewide during the 2025 Memorial Day travel period, along with four fatalities and 85 injuries. For readers planning ahead, officials continue to advise using a sober driver, a taxi, a ride-share service, or another ride home if alcohol is involved.
