STEP - Impaired Driving Mobilization (IDM) Grants

Impaired Driving Mobilization (IDM) provides grant money for local law enforcement agencies to conduct driving while intoxicated (DWI) enforcement Waves and increase DWI arrests as part of the statewide "Drink. Drive. Go to Jail" program, held in conjunction with the national Impaired Driving Mobilization (IDM) campaign. IDM grants require a 20% minimum matching share from the subgrantee.
TRF-BTS identifies areas of the state with the highest percentages of alcohol related crashes and then invites law enforcement agencies in these areas to participate in the IDM. These projects conduct quarterly enforcement mobilizations during the following holiday periods:
  • Christmas/New Years.
  • Spring Break.
  • Independence Day.
  • Labor Day (in conjunction with the National Impaired Driving Crackdown).
If selected to participate in the IDM campaign, law enforcement agencies must conduct the following activities:
  • Pre-Media Campaign.
  • Enforcement Effort.
  • Post-Media Campaign.
To view the appropriate timelines on these IDM activities, see the STEP Mobilization Calendar, located under “STEP Tool Box” on the
