2026 Drive Sober, No Regrets Initiative with Increased DWI Enforcement & No Refusal Initiative

The Austin Police (APD) will be conducting a DWI Enforcement and No Refusal Initiative that will coincide with the upcoming 4th of July Holiday period. This initiative will be in effect each night from June 19th thru July 6th. Additional officers will be deployed making traffic stops to encourage safe driving behaviors. We hope everyone enjoys the festivities occurring around this celebration while making good choices to get home safely.
 
This initiative is an effort to enforce DWI laws, keep the public safe by encouraging drivers to make responsible decisions, and to apply for blood search warrants on suspects arrested for DWI who refuse to provide a breath or blood specimen as required by law.
 
APD, TXDOT, and the City of Austin Transportation and Public Works are continuously focused on preventing lives from being lost on the streets, highways, and waterways of Austin. APD is dedicated to making the roadways and waterways of Austin safe for residents and visitors through education and enforcement.
