Plan While You Can Campaign

December 15, 2015 AUSTIN — In an effort to save lives this holiday season, TxDOT is launching the “Plan While You Can” campaign that urges drivers to plan ahead for a sober ride when holiday celebrations involve alcohol. The campaign introduces the “Plan While You Can” interactive dodgeball game to show the effects of alcohol on a driver’s response time. During last year’s holiday season (Dec. 1, 2014 - Jan. 1, 2015), there were 2,412 alcohol-related traffic crashes in Texas, resulting in 190 serious injuries and 110 fatalities.

In Lufkin, there were four alcohol-related traffic crashes during last year’s holiday season.
