Put the Phone Away or Pay 2026 Distracted Driving Crackdown Campaign
The Secaucus Police Department will participate in the nationwide “Put the Phone Away or Pay” enforcement campaign from April 1 through April 30, 2026, in recognition of Distracted Driving Awareness Month. This initiative is aimed at reducing distracted driving and educating motorists about the serious—and often deadly—consequences of using a cellphone behind the wheel. Distracted driving remains a leading cause of motor vehicle crashes, contributing to nearly half of all crashes in New Jersey.
Throughout the month of April, law enforcement agencies across the state will conduct increased patrols and targeted enforcement to identify and stop drivers who are putting others at risk. During last year’s campaign, officers statewide issued nearly 7,000 citations for cellphone-related violations. In partnership with the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety, Secaucus officers will once again take part in this coordinated effort to prevent crashes and save lives.
New Jersey law prohibits all handheld cellphone use while driving, including texting, making calls, or scrolling. Violations carry fines and require a mandatory court appearance. Research shows that drivers using a cellphone are nearly four times more likely to be involved in a crash. The Secaucus Police Department remains committed to keeping our roadways safe. While enforcement is necessary, our goal is prevention.
Our focus is your safety—your focus should be on the road. Distracted driving has real and lasting consequences. We would rather issue a citation than respond to a preventable tragedy. No message, call, or notification is worth risking a life.
