COLUMBUS – Earlier this month, the Ohio State Highway Patrol and members of the 6-State Trooper Project joined together to focus on speed, safety belt and OVI enforcement on Interstate 75.

During the 6-State initiative, the Patrol cited 482 drivers for speed-related violations and 63 for safety belt infractions, and also charged 11 with OVI.

The three‐day initiative began February 14 and continued through Sunday, February 16. The campaign included the Kentucky State Police and Michigan State Police. The remaining members of the 6-State Trooper Project, Indiana State Police, Pennsylvania State Police and West Virginia State Police, did not participate.

In total, 630 drivers were cited for speed-related violations and 80 for safety belt infractions.

The 6-State Trooper Project is a multi-state law enforcement partnership aimed at providing combined and coordinated law enforcement and security services in the areas of highway safety, criminal patrol and information sharing. A complete breakdown from Ohio’s enforcement can be found here and here.
