The Alabama Department of Public Safety (ALDPS) Motor Carrier Safety Unit began conducting high visibility enforcement details in May 2008 to collect data in support of a TACT Readiness grant application. The Highway Patrol Division conducted two separate enforcement details, the first utilizing Highway Patrol supervisors and the second utilizing the entire Highway Patrol Division in an effort to target aggressive drivers throughout the state. The first detail conducted utilized Highway Patrol supervisors that resulted in a total of 832 citations issued over a two-day period. The second detail used 15-Trooper Posts resulting in 16,281 citations issued to commercial vehicles and noncommercial vehicles for improper lane change, following to close, speeding, and aggressive driving. In April 2009, ALDPS received MCSAP funding to migrate its TACT-like initiative to toward full TACT status by adding an evaluation component to measure changes in driver behavior and awareness.
