PRINCE FREDERICK, Md. – The Calvert County Board of County Commissioners is partnering with the Calvert Alliance Against Substance Abuse, Inc. to sponsor the Designated Driver Campaign from Dec. 1, 2023, through Jan. 2, 2024, to encourage countywide impaired driving prevention.

The Designated Driver Campaign provides an opportunity for Calvert County restaurants, clubs, bars, civic and service organizations to join forces with the Calvert Alliance Against Substance Abuse, local law enforcement and Calvert County residents in promoting cooperative impaired driving prevention efforts since the loss of life due to impaired driving is preventable.

It is essential that all Calvert County citizens be aware of the importance of having a celebration plan in place, such as a designated driver, and understand that their participation in the campaign can help reduce impaired driving crashes in Calvert County.

Citizens are urged to choose a designated driver for any upcoming holiday parties they may attend and not provide alcohol to those under the age of 21. Area restaurants, clubs, bars, civic and service organizations are also encouraged to County join the Calvert Alliance Against Substance Abuse, the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office and the Maryland State Police — Barrack “U” in supporting the Designated Driver Campaign.

  1. What a joke! They could care less
    I witnessed a hit and run last week, the sheriff’s office did NOTHING! they made a case number, even after I gave them the complete description of the vehicle, driver etc
    There are no longer any traffic laws, so feel free to do what you want folks

  2. This should just be a service offered all year round not for a month. Seems useless to have it for one month only acting like people only drink and drive for one month out of the year

  3. Take away the consequences to excessive drinking and you’ll have more problems than they’ll ever be able to handle.
