Colorado law enforcement to ‘put the heat on’ drunk drivers over New Year’s

By Jennifer McRae | CBS Colorado

Law enforcement across Colorado are boosting patrols for the New Year’s Eve holiday. The Heat Is On New Year’s Eve DUI enforcement period continues through Thursday, Jan. 2. 

Drivers may see saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoints along with more law enforcement officers on duty to keep impaired drivers off Colorado’s roadways. 

To encourage drivers to give up the keys, Mothers Against Drunk Driving® (MADD) Colorado and Uber have partnered to provide $7 ride credits. According to the Colorado Department of Transportation, ride credits can be redeemed using code SAFECO24 in the Uber app starting Dec. 25 through Jan. 1, 2025, while supplies last. The code is good across Colorado.
