State police from across New England speak about joint traffic safety initiative

The six New England states (New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, and Connecticut) have launched a joint summer traffic safety initiative to combat speeding, distracted driving, and impaired driving, which together account for approximately one-third of all motor vehicle fatalities nationwide; the initiative involves coordinated law enforcement patrols, education campaigns, and enforcement efforts across state lines to reduce traffic fatalities during the busy summer travel season.
