Conclusion
MADD Illinois concludes from our work in 2020 and from this report that more work is needed to prevent impaired driving on our roadways. Court monitoring is one of MADD’s many programs that works in impaired driving prevention. MADD Illinois is also a charter member of both the Illinois DUI Task Force and the Illinois DUI Cannabis Task Force. Efforts must continue to collaborate with partners all around the state, including law enforcement, State’s Attorney’s Offices, judges, schools, corporations, all citizens, and others as we all play a part in keeping impaired driving off our roadways. MADD Illinois has made strong efforts and will continue to push harder into the future to keep impaired driving off Illinois roadways.
