From staff reports
Venango County police departments, in cooperation with the Venango County Police Traffic Services Project, will join state police and more than 200 municipal police agencies for a targeted aggressive-driving enforcement wave beginning today through April 25.
The Venango County Police Traffic Services Project is administered by the Venango County District Attorney’s Office and supports traffic enforcement activities in Franklin, Oil City, Polk and Sugarcreek.
As part of the Aggressive Driving Enforcement and Education Project, the wave will concentrate on reducing the number of aggressive-driving related crashes, injuries and deaths on roadways, a PennDOT news release said.
The enforcement wave will focus on speeding, distracted driving and work zone awareness, the release said.
Motorists exhibiting other unsafe behaviors such as driving too fast for conditions, following too closely or other aggressive actions also will be cited.
The enforcement is part of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s Aggressive Driving Enforcement and Education Project.
It is funded by part of the department’s investment of federal funds from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
