The Century Council has played a leadership role in the identification of the hardcore drunk driver problem and has developed effective means to combat it. In 1997, The Council launched the National Hardcore Drunk Driving Project, a single, comprehensive resource to assist legislators, highway safety officials, law enforcement officers, judges, prosecutors, community activists and treatment professionals to develop programs that advocate swift identification, certain punishment and effective treatment to reduce hardcore drunk driving.

In 2000, following the launch, The Hardcore Coalition to Fight Drunk Driving was formed as an effort to combine the resources of each organization's similar programs creating synergy in the fight against the hardcore drunk driver. The Coalition consists of The Century Council, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
