The Erie County STOP-DWI Program is a County Government Office, established under New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law, and charged with coordinating Erie County's alcohol traffic safety (drunk driving) efforts. The sole source of funding is fine revenue collected from convicted drunken drivers in Erie County Courts. There are no tax dollars used in STOP-DWI projects.
The project's mission is to reduce the number of persons killed or injured in drunken driving crashes in Erie County. Its function is to promote drunken driving countermeasures as an enforcement, judicial, and community priority.
