Coquitlam RCMP pulled 38 impaired drivers off the road during July's CounterAttack enforcement.
The number is down slightly from last summer, when Mounties removed 40 drivers from the road for being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
"Yet it's still 38 too many," said Cpl. Neil Roemer of Coquitlam RCMP's Traffic Services in a release. "Folks, there are many safer options out there, such as calling a cab, taking transit or planning ahead and having a designated driver."
There were seven impaired driving-related crashes involving fatalities or serious injuries in 2014 and 2015, according to police data.
And while the summer CounterAttack campaign has wrapped up, police will still be doing road checks throughout the year to look for impaired drivers.
