New York State Police issued 8,263 traffic tickets during a Super Bowl weekend enforcement campaign from February 6 to 8, 2026, resulting in 177 DWI arrests and 822 crashes, including one fatal incident. The effort featured increased patrols and sobriety checkpoints statewide, with major violations including speeding, distracted driving, seatbelt use, and Move Over Law infractions.
