For Super Bowl LX on Sunday, February 8, 2026, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Dauphin County DUI Task Force are teaming up to remind drivers: Fans Don’t Let Fans Drive Drunk. Anyone planning to attend a Super Bowl LX party should either plan for a designated driver or not indulge in drinking. People hosting a party should prepare plenty of food and non-alcoholic drink options for guests, especially for the designated drivers. The designated driver is the night’s real MVP and should keep that commitment from kickoff until time expires.

The Lower Paxton Township Bureau of Police along with several other Dauphin County Law Enforcement agencies will be patrolling the roadways this Super Bowl Weekend looking for impaired drivers. Officers will take a zero-tolerance approach to impaired drivers when encountered.

Hosting a Winning Party
Those hosting a Super Bowl party should prepare plenty of snacks and non-alcohol drinks for guests and designated drivers. Hosts should encourage guests to designate their sober drivers in advance, and to eat food and drink plenty of water. An important reminder: It is never okay to serve alcohol to minors. If an underage person drinks and drives, the person who provided the alcohol can be held liable for any damage, injury, or death caused by the underage driver.

Designated Drivers are the Real MVPs
Designated drivers should commit to a sober evening. If a designated driver is attending a party or is at a bar or restaurant, they should enjoy the food, the company, and the nonalcoholic drinks. Their positive influence could help keep others on the right track.

Lower Paxton Township is urging everyone to celebrate Super Bowl LX safely by planning before the festivities begin. The most important step is arranging for a sober ride in advance — whether that means designating a sober driver, using a taxi service, or booking a rideshare. Because alcohol clouds a person’s judgement, designated drivers should be prepared to help others who failed to plan to find a safe and sober way home. Community members
