Town of Halton Hills Files: D09OPA19.002 and D14ZBA19.008 Halton police issued nearly 200 tickets during a recent campaign aimed at dis- tracted drivers. Project "It Can Wait Halton" ran from Monday, Oct. 28 to Friday, Nov. 8 and fea- tured a combination of distracted driving law education and enforcement. During this campaign officers handed out 199 tickets and gave nine warnings. "#It Can Wait Halton was a public en- forcement campaign aimed to positively influence driver behavior and reduce the use of hand-held devices while driving," said Halton police Deputy Chief Jeff Hill. "Enforcement of distracted driving will continue to be a priority for our offi- cers, but our hope is that through contin- ued education there will be a reduced need for enforcement going forward." Halton police and Halton Region rolled out the awareness campaign, educating residents and motorists about the im- pacts of distracted driving through their websites, the media, social media and dig- ital/print signage. Officers said the #ItCanWaitHalton hashtag garnered 707,130 impressions over social media, while their digital and print signage was passed by motorists more than three million times during the course of the campaign. "Halton Region and the Halton Region- al Police Service continue to work togeth- er to ensure our roads and communities remain safe," said Halton Region chair Gary Carr. "When you are behind the wheel, ev- erything else can wait."
