The Timmins Police Service is receiving provincial funding to help deliver the RIDE program.
Last week, Ontario announced $4.8 million to help 171 police serves "carry out important year-round road safety initiatives such as education campaigns and roadside spot checks."
According to the Solicitor General's Office, Timmins Police is receiving $31,155 over the next two years.
The grant money is to cover the overtime of sworn officers and paid-duty RIDE activities in 2020-21 and 2021-22.
"Driving impaired, whether from drugs or alcohol is not only illegal, it can be fatal. Making alternate plans to get home safely only takes a minute, and it can save your life and the lives of others," said Solicitor General Sylvia Jones in a news release.
"With the holiday season upon us, education campaigns and roadside spot checks are vital tools in the police arsenal to inform people about the dangers of driving impaired and the ways to keep our roads and highways safe."
