What
we do.
 The
Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS), the law enforcement
community, training agencies, associations, prosecutors, the
judiciary and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT)
work together to decrease crashes, fatalities, and injuries.
To achieve this goal, the program combines a concerted local
and statewide media campaign with additional law enforcement
activities to reinforce the message. Selective Traffic Enforcement
Programs (STEPs) are grants provided by TxDOT to law enforcement
agencies to enforce traffic safety laws such as speed and
safety belt use. In these grants, Texas peace officers work
primarily overtime and regular time in several cases to issue
citations and arrest DWI offenders in order to reduce fatalities,
injuries, and crashes within their local jurisdiction.
Police Traffic Services
Programs are statewide efforts that focus on:
- Increasing safety belt and child safety seat usage
- Decreasing the number of drivers Driving While Intoxicated
(DWI)
- Increasing Intersection Traffic Control (ITC) safety
- Increasing Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) safety
- Decreasing speed violations and crashes
