RUaD’s goal is to prevent or reduce the consumption of alcohol by minors, especially through increased enforcement of underage drinking laws. The RUaD program has received block grant awards totaling $2,160,000 since 1998 from the federal Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). The block grants have supported public education efforts, Liquor Control Board enhancements, a RUaD track and/or workshops at the State Prevention Summit, youth leadership activities, and community-based coalitions. In addition to the block grants, DASA is the recipient of two discretionary grants of nearly $800,000. These funds support the efforts of five communities as they implement comprehensive approaches to the problem of underage drinking, with an emphasis on increasing law enforcement activity. Washington Traffic Safety Commission and the Washington State Liquor Control Board are primary partners in RUaD. Other collaborators include: local law enforcement, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, the statewide College Coalition for Substance Abuse Prevention and other state agencies.
