Impaired Driving Advisory Council

About

Begun in 2013, the Impaired Driving Advisory Council (IDAC) serves to identify and prioritize the state’s most pressing impaired driving issues, recommend best practices, and develop a multi-year impaired driving strategic plan that will support the mission of the TN Highway Safety Office (THSO) as well as maximize the state’s ability to impact these types of crashes, injuries, and fatalities. Member representation includes viewpoints of segments of the community that interact with impaired driving highway safety issues. At a minimum, it consists of representatives from the following: law enforcement and the criminal justice system (e.g., prosecution, adjudication and probation), driver licensing, treatment and rehabilitation, ignition interlock programs, data and traffic records, public health, communication and members of the THSO.
