Multi-state police operation begins on I-94

This week, law enforcement from several states teamed up to screen commercial vehicle drivers traveling on I-94.

From November 28 to December 2, 2022, the Michigan State Police (MSP), as well as the Indiana State Police and Illinois State Police, are conducting an operation called “Eyes on 94” aimed at improving traffic safety.

Troopers will focus on violations of commercial vehicle drivers that could cause accidents on I-94 due to worsening weather conditions.

Speeding, distracted driving, failure to maintain distance, as well as violations when approaching emergency services and improper lane use, will be strictly monitored by the police.

“This coordinated operation is an effort to increase awareness by means of high visibility enforcement on the I-94 freeway, which is prone to weather-related crashes involving interstate commercial vehicle drivers this time of year,” stated Capt. Richard Arnold, commander of the MSP Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division.
