driveThe multistate, public-private drunk driving and underage drinking campaign known as Checkpoint Strikeforce has kicked off an agency review for PR and creative.

The 33-year-old Washington Regional Alcohol Program, known for its free cab service, SoberRide, encompasses Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia is dangling a $1.6M account for the 2015 calendar year with about three-quarters geared toward PSA and media placement. The resulting pact will carry four option years.

Washington-based transportation PR firm Stratacomm has worked with WRAP for the past decade.  

The Strikeforce campaign mainly targets the high-risk 21-to-35-year-old male driver demographic through social media, PR, and creative/ad buys aimed to curb drunk driving an raise awareness of sobriety checkpoints.

WRAP is based in Falls Church, Va., outside of DC.
