Summer Ends. Sober Rides Stay Forever
· Texas Border Business
As summer concludes, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) emphasizes the importance of sober driving, especially during Labor Day. Last year, 35% of Texas crash fatalities were linked to drugs or alcohol, a figure that surged to 57% over Labor Day Weekend 2025, resulting in 26 deaths. In the Pharr District alone, there were 1,203 DUI-related crashes in 2025, causing 32 fatalities. TxDOT's campaign, 'Drive Sober. No Regrets,' encourages Texans to plan safe rides, whether through rideshare, public transit, or designated drivers. The agency is also increasing law enforcement efforts to combat impaired driving during this critical period.
