Le Mars, Iowa – October 28, 2026 -- The Le Mars Transload Center (LMTC) is being expanded with a 0% interest loan from the Iowa Department of Transportation's Railroad Revolving Loan and Grant Program (RRLG), as demand for rail-to-truck transloading and third-party logistics services outgrows the current facility.

Hurst, Texas – October 27, 2026 -- Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) convened 80 traffic safety leaders from 38 jurisdictions on November 17–19, 2025, to address declining DUI enforcement capacity across the United States.

Attendees included state police agencies, sheriff's offices, municipal police departments, prosecutors' offices and highway safety organizations. MADD ran the National Law Enforcement Leadership Summit on Impaired Driving as a working session rather than a traditional conference.

Four pressures are eroding DUI enforcement effectiveness

Participants said proactive traffic stops have fallen steadily since the COVID-19 pandemic, cutting officer visibility and deterrence. Staffing shortages and accelerated hiring cycles have left departments with newer officers who have limited experience with complex DUI and drug-impaired investigations.
