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.
