About ENDUI: ENDUI supports innovative prevention efforts, targeted communications and a sustained evaluation to realize its vision of ending impaired driving. As a result of these strategies, overall traffic fatalities in Oklahoma have been declining over the past 5 years. However, alcohol and drug-impaired fatalities continue to represent a significant portion of traffic fatalities across the state.
When it comes to our friends, neighbors and loved ones, even one life lost is too many. But together, we can stop the torment felt by families left behind. Together, we can make our roadways safer. Together, we can ENDUI.
