During the "U Drive. U Text. U Pay." campaign, troopers also arrested 25 drivers for impaired driving, while issuing 489 citations for speeding, 14 for no seat belt, and three for improper child restraint use.

They also issued 37 tickets for driving under suspension, 13 for open alcohol container, and seven for minor in possession .

Troopers also assisted 215 motorists on Nebraska roadways.

The effort was made possible in part by a grant from the Nebraska Department of Transportation - Highway Safety Office.
