Drivers across six states should expect increased law enforcement presence on highways this week as part of a coordinated distracted driving crackdown running through April 13, 2026.
The enforcement wave runs April 6 through April 13 as part of the 6-State Trooper Project, a multi-state partnership providing coordinated law enforcement, highway safety enforcement, criminal patrol, and intelligence sharing. Participating agencies include the Kentucky State Police, Michigan State Police, Ohio State Highway Patrol, West Virginia State Police, Pennsylvania State Police, and Indiana State Police.
The effort coincides with National Distracted Driving Awareness Month.
“Taking your eyes off the road for just a few seconds can change lives forever,” Kentucky State Police said. “That’s why our troopers will be on roadways to hold distracted drivers accountable and help prevent crashes before they happen. Put the phone down. Stay focused. Arrive safely.”
