Drugged Driving Expert Panel Report:

Drugged Driving Expert Panel Report:


Product ID: 811 438

In November 2008 and again in March 2009, an expert panel was convened by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration with the goal of determining whether a list could be developed to indicate which medications or classes of medications may pose a hazard to driving. There was particular interest in having the panel develop a list of safe”medications that do not impair driving. The value of the list would be to better inform patients and physicians regarding the likely effects of a drug on driving. This information could lead to better-informed prescribing practices and to more rational selection of medications by patients.

2006 Seat Belt Use Estimate for Native American Tribal Reservation (Report)

2006 Seat Belt Use Estimate for Native American Tribal Reservation (Report)


Product ID: 810 967
This study updates a 2004 project sponsored by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), Indian Highway Safety Program, which developed a methodology to measure and a baseline tribal reservation seat belt use rate. Between September and December 2006, seat belt use was observed on 15 reservations and in March 2007 on one reservation. For the tribal reservations subject to tribal law and tribal traffic law enforcement, excluding the Navajo Nation, the overall seat belt use rate was 61.8%. When results from the 2004 study are compared to the present study, there was a statistically significant increase in seat belt use. There was a very high variation in belt use across reservations, ranging from a low of 27.7% to a high of 87.8%. Nine tribal reservations had primary seat belt laws; in them, 73.1% of vehicle occupants were belted. By comparison, three tribal reservations had secondary belt laws; they averaged 59.3% belt use. For the four tribal reservations with no belt use law of any kind, only 37.2% of the vehicle occupants were belted.

2007 Motor Vehicle Occupant Safety Survey (Report)

2007 Motor Vehicle Occupant Safety Survey (Report)


Product ID: 810 976
This is the third report volume from NHTSA's large-sample national telephone survey, conducted in 2007, addressing occupant protection issues.  NHTSA has conducted the survey periodically since 1994.  Volume 3 presents the survey results pertaining to air bags.  It explores preferences, perceived utility, and concerns that the public has regarding air bags.
IMPLICATIONS FOR HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY:  The report shows broad public support for air bags, and a general awareness that air bags are not a substitute for seat belts.  But the data also suggest that some people are confused about the presence and location of air bags in their vehicles.  Moreover, drivers were less likely to report that their vehicles had warning labels about air bags if the vehicle was purchased used as opposed to new.  These points to gaps in how the public is being informed about air bags.

A Pilot Study to Test Multiple Medication Usage and Driver Functioning (Report)

A Pilot Study to Test Multiple Medication Usage and Driver Functioning (Report)


Product ID: 810 980
This study explored the relationship between older drivers who take multiple medications, (polypharmacy) and their driving functioning. A patient-level administrative claims database containing prescription information and E-codes identifying the incidence of motor vehicle injuries was mined, yielding combinations of drugs that became inclusion criteria in a field study of driver performance among 44 older adults (ages 57 to 89; mean: 79). Driving performance evaluations by an occupational therapist/certified driving rehabilitation specialist, a brake response time measure, and functional screening measures were conducted for the study sample, whose drug profiles were documented through a brown bag review by a licensed pharmacist. The relationship between medication usage and each of these outcome measures was examined in descriptive data summaries and regression analyses. The driving evaluations were carried out in a dual-brake vehicle also equipped with speed sensor (OBD-2), GPS logger, and two miniature video cameras (drivers face and forward road views) plus digital recorder. A sub-sample allowed the same instrumentation package to be installed in their private cars for a week of independent driving; this supported an analysis of within-subject variability in driving behavior during a formal driving evaluation versus independent driving.

Analysis of Rear Underride in Fatal Truck Crashes

Analysis of Rear Underride in Fatal Truck Crashes


Product ID: 811 652

This study was conducted by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI) to collect and analyze crash data on rear underride in fatal truck crashes in 2008. The underride data was collected as a supplement to the 2008 Trucks Involved in Fatal Accidents (TIFA) survey, which in turn supplements NHTSA’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System file. Data was collected on the rear geometry of the rear-most unit of all trucks in the 2008 TIFA file. In addition, for all collisions in which the rear of the truck was struck, data was collected on the extent of underride, damage to the underride guard, if any, and whether the collision was offset. In addition, international rear underride protection standards were surveyed and summarized.

Analyzing the First Years of the Click It or Ticket Mobilizations(Report)

Analyzing the First Years of the Click It or Ticket Mobilizations(Report)


Product ID: 811 232
The Click It or Ticket (CIOT) seat belt enforcement programs conducted between 2000 and 2006 were important factors in increasing seat belt use nationwide and in virtually all States. This was the case for observed seat belt use, seat belt use in fatalities, and self-reported seat belt use.  As enforcement programs continued across the country and belt use increased, public awareness and attitudes changed as well, with growing support for primary belt laws and belt enforcement.  Among state with secondary seat belt enforcement laws, where an officer must first stop a vehicle for some other violation before issuing a seat belt citation, the States that increased seat belt use the most had greater levels of enforcement. Primary law States (where an officer can issue a belt citation upon observing an unbelted motorist like all other traffic laws) had substantially higher seat belt use and higher levels of enforcement than secondary States. States that converted from secondary to primary laws during the period showed the greatest increase in belt use.

First released in 1999, The Art of Appropriate Evaluation has been one of NHTSAs most popular publications.  NHTSA has prepared a revised and updated version of the guide.  The document is intended for project managers who oversee evaluations of traffic safety programs at the State or local levels but who do not have an evaluation background.  The guide gives an overview of the steps involved in producing an evaluation appropriate to the project, whether conducted in-house or by an independent evaluator.
   
IMPLICATIONS FOR HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY:  Traffic safety evaluation is an applied science that works within the constraints of State and local program implementation. Without evaluation it is difficult to know the extent to which a program affects traffic safety. Managers of State and local traffic safety programs who understand the importance of evaluation and who follow the steps highlighted in The Art of Appropriate Evaluation will be able to document and continue to implement their successful programs.

Distraction Effects of Manual Number and Text Entry While Driving

Distraction Effects of Manual Number and Text Entry While Driving


Product ID: 811 510

An experiment was conducted to assess the distraction potential of secondary tasks performed using in-vehicle systems (radio tuning, destination entry) and portable phones (10-digit dialing, selecting contacts, text messaging) while driving.
One hundred participants, ages 25-64, completed a single session in which they drove a low-fidelity (PC-based) simulator while performing the secondary tasks. The phone tasks were performed with two smart phones, one with a touch screen interface (iPhone) and one with a hard button interface (Blackberry). The Dynamic Following and Detection (DFD) driving protocol, which combines car-following with target detection, in which drivers responded to simple visual targets presented in the simulated roadway display, was used. Each combination of primary (driving) and secondary task was performed during a single 3-minute drive. Driving performance metrics included: lane position variability, car-following delay, target-detection accuracy and target detection
response time.

Effectiveness of Rear Seat Head Restraint Non-Use Position Discomfort Indicators

Effectiveness of Rear Seat Head Restraint Non-Use Position Discomfort Indicators


Product ID: 811 514

An experiment was conducted to compare the effectiveness of head restraints modified to increase the likelihood of eliciting uninstructed adjustments from a non-use to a deployed position among naïve users.  Fifty-nine participants aged 18-46 years experienced one of three head restraint conditions.  The first condition consisted of an unmodified, original equipment (OE) second- row head restraint from a 2009 Ford Flex, which was compliant to specifications in the United Nations’ Global Technical Regulation (GTR) No. 7 intended to provide distinct physical cues to alert occupants to the need to adjust the head restraint.   The second condition consisted of an OE head restraint modified to be longer vertically, which also met the GTR specifications.  Lastly, a thicker head restraint producing a torso angle change of 10 degrees from the seat back (10 degrees), one of multiple compliance options allowed in FMVSS No. 202, was examined.

Product ID: 810 753
Just prior to the May 2005 Click It or Ticket  mobilization, NHTSA's Great Lakes Region implemented a Rural Demonstration Program (RDP) to increase seat belt use in rural areas.  Paid media notified rural residents that police would enforce seat belt laws. In three States (Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio), enforcement was included during this phase; however, in the remaining three States (Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin), only paid media was implemented. All States intensified enforcement during CIOT. In targeted rural areas, awareness of seat belt messages increased most during the RDP, while awareness of enforcement-related messages and activities increased most during CIOT.  During the RDP, States that had intensified enforcement experienced significant increases in usage in their rural targeted areas.  Generally, usage did not increase unless enforcement was present.  During CIOT, States that had intensified enforcement during RDP showed substantially greater overall statewide gains than States that had not intensified enforcement during RDP

Effects of Alcohol on Motorcycle Riding Skills (Final Report)

Effects of Alcohol on Motorcycle Riding Skills (Final Report)


Product ID: 810 877

light-truck operators. Despite the relevance of alcohol to motorcycle safety, only limited information on the impairing effects of alcohol on motorcycle operator performance is available.  To address this issue, NHTSA sponsored a research study to assess the impairing effects of alcohol (up to the current per se limit of .08 g/dL), on rider performance involving a broad set of basic motorcycle riding skills.
These riding skills were assessed on a test track with task scenarios based on the Motorcycle Safety Foundations (MSF) training program. This study used a balanced incomplete block design to remove confounding artifacts (learning effects) by randomizing four BAC levels across three test days. Performance was characterized in terms of riding strategy used to cope with the effects of alcohol as a neurological stressor and the amount of resulting impairment with reference to specified performance standards. The analysis controlled for rider gender and age, riding skill, and drinking history.

Motorcycle fatalities have increased for the ninth consecutive year and now represent 11.3  percent of all traffic fatalities in the U.S.  One factor that continues to be associated with motorcycle fatalities is alcohol.  In 2005, twenty-seven percent of motorcycle operators had blood alcohol concentrations of .08 g/dL or higher versus 22 percent for passenger car operators, and 21 percent for

Evaluating Transdermal Alcohol Measuring Devices (Report)

Evaluating Transdermal Alcohol Measuring Devices (Report)


Product ID: 810 875

 

This study evaluated two types of electrochemical sensing technologies that quantitatively detect ethyl alcohol vapor through the skin (transdermal).  Transdermal alcohol concentration measuring devices use a new technology that has the potential for monitoring whether persons who are prohibited from drinking have consumed alcohol.  The study evaluated the accuracy and precision of two devices, based on transdermal alcohol sensor technology, the Giner, Inc., Wrist Transdermal Alcohol Sensor, and the Alcohol Monitoring Systems Secure Remote Alcohol Monitor.  The two devices, in different stages of development and were designed to be used with different populations, offer different strengths and weaknesses.

I  While the technology requires improvement, transdermal alcohol concentration measuring devices do have potential for monitoring whether persons who are prohibited from drinking have consumed alcohol.  Thus, these types of devices may provide another tool for courts, probation services, and treatment providers to aid in monitoring such persons to reduce alcohol-related traffic crashes.

Evaluation of a Rural Demonstration Program to Increase Seat Belt Use in the Great Lakes Region(Repo


Product ID: 811 084
Six States in the Great Lakes Region (Region 5) participated in a Rural Demonstration Program to increase seat belt use in rural areas and among high-risk occupants, such as young males and occupants of pickup trucks. These efforts preceded statewide Click It or Ticket mobilizations in 2005 and 2006. Results from telephone surveys showed large and significant increases in awareness of program efforts, including special enforcement. These results also suggested that the 2006 program had higher baseline rates of awareness and slightly less change associated with it than the 2005 effort. In addition to significant overall increases in all States, there were significant increases among key high-risk groups, including males, younger people, and occupants of pickup trucks. Two-year increases among these groups averaged 11 to 12 percentage points. Trends in seat belt usage, both observed and among crash victims, showed continued increases during the period of the RDP/CIOT mobilizations.

Evaluation of Seven Publicized Enforcement Demonstration Programs to Reduce Impaired Driving[Report]

Evaluation of Seven Publicized Enforcement Demonstration Programs to Reduce Impaired Driving[Report]


Product ID: 810 941

Between 2000 and 2003, NHTSA funded seven alcohol demonstration programs designed to reduce impaired driving through well-publicized and highly visible enforcement. These demonstration programs were not specifically designed to be research evaluation studies; instead, they were designed to reduce drinking-and-driving behavior and ultimately alcohol related crashes. The states varied widely in their enforcement methods, media methods, and their paid and earned media budgets and messages.

Four of the programs were conducted statewide or nearly statewide. Paid advertising was used in Georgia, Indiana and Michigan.  In GA, TN, IN, and PA sobriety checkpoints were conducted throughout the data collection period. In LA checkpoints were permitted part way through data collection and in Texas and Michigan, checkpoints were not permitted.  The number and types of enforcement activities varied considerably from State to State.  Georgia reported using 2,837 checkpoints. Pennsylvania used checkpoints, mobile awareness patrols, and roving patrols yielding more than 1,100 roadside enforcement actions, while Tennessee used a combination of checkpoints (535), enforcement roadblocks (approximately 270), and saturation patrols (270).  Michigan used 1,122 saturation and routine patrols and in Indiana more than 3,800 patrol hours were reported.  The number of DUI or DWI arrests varied considerably, typically varying from a few hundred to a few thousand.

Evaluation of the Buckle Up in Your Truck Program [Report]

Evaluation of the Buckle Up in Your Truck Program [Report]


Product ID: 811 131

In 2006 and 2007, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska participated in a program called Buckle Up in Your Truck, which consisted of a two-week, high-visibility, seat belt enforcement effort that preceded the National May (CIOT)mobilization each year. Paid media and intensified enforcement were the two key components and focused on young male occupants of pickup trucks while enforcement focused on all unbuckled vehicle occupants. Both components were followed by CIOT. An average of 5 cents per capita was spent on paid media during each phase of BUIYT and CIOT, achieving about 350 gross rating points in each of 18 media markets for each week of the program. The citation rate, averaged across the states, was 15 to 17 citations per 10,000 population. The public awareness of general messages to buckle up (80%) was greater than the public awareness of ongoing enforcement efforts (68%).  Awareness of messages to BUIYT reached levels of just under 40 percent. Observed seat belt usage increased in all four states and in all vehicle types. Two-year increases in pickup trucks ranged from 3 to 14 percentage points (an average of 8 points). These results were similar to those of previous BUIYT efforts, combined with CIOT, in NHTSA Regions 4 and 6.

Evaluation of the Miami Dade Pedestrian Safety Demonstration Project (Report)

Evaluation of the Miami Dade Pedestrian Safety Demonstration Project (Report)


Product ID: 810 964

The purpose of this study was to identify and implement a comprehensive countermeasure program that could reduce deaths and injuries among pedestrians in a large urban environment. Miami-Dade County, Florida was selected as the focus of this study. Using pedestrian crash data from 1996-2001, four zones were identified within the County as having abnormally high pedestrian crash experiences. Based on location crash characteristics, as well as pedestrian (age, ethnicity) factors, a total of 16 different types of education, enforcement, and engineering treatments were selected and targeted to reduce pedestrian crashes specifically in the four zones, and also countywide.

A before-after study was used with three separate control groups to evaluate the effects of the combined pedestrian safety program on pedestrian crashes. A three-year after period was used (2002-2004). Multivariate intervention auto-regressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) time series analysis was used, along with non-parametric (i.e., Mann-Whitney U-tests) to test for statistically significant differences in pedestrian crash experiences. Results showed that, at the peak of the program effects in 2003 and 2004, the pedestrian safety program reduced Countywide pedestrian crash rates by between 8.5 percent and 13.3 percent, depending on which control group was used. Using the most conservative assumption--8.5%-this effect translates to approximately 180 fewer crashes annually in Miami-Dade County, or 360 pedestrian crashes reduced in 2003 and 2004 combined. Countywide, the greatest crash reductions were found among children and adult pedestrians as a result of the program. Educational and other measures to reduce crashes involving older pedestrians showed no effect. A number of lessons learned were identified for future implementation of such a program.

Evaluation of the Repeal of Motorcycle Helmet Laws in Kentucky and Louisiana (Report)


Product ID: 809 530
The 1998 universal motorcycle helmet law repeal in Kentucky and the 1999 repeal in Louisiana produced similar effects.  Observed helmet use dropped from nearly full compliance under the laws to the 50 percent range without the laws.  Motorcyclist fatalities increased in the near term by sizeable amounts - by over 50 percent in Kentucky and by 100 percent in Louisiana.  The increase in fatalities in Kentucky and Louisiana were probably due to increased exposure.  The experience in Kentucky and Louisiana is similar to the experience in Arkansas and Texas, two other states that repealed universal laws recently (1997).  This leaves little doubt that such repeals have demonstrable negative safety consequences.  8.5" x 11", two color, 45 pages.

Integrated Vehicle-Based Safety Systems (IVBSS)


Product ID: 811 516

This report presents the methodology and results of the independent evaluation of a prototype integrated crash warning system forlight vehicles as part of the Integrated Vehicle-Based Safety Systems initiative of the United States Department of Transportation’s Intelligent Transportation System program. The system integrates rear-end crash, curve-speed warning, lane change crash, and lane departure warning functions. The goals of the independent evaluation are to assess the safety impact, gauge driver
acceptance, and characterize the capability of the integrated safety system. The evaluation is based on naturalistic driving data collected from a field operational test using 108 subjects who drove 16 passenger vehicles equipped with a prototype integrated safety system and a data
acquisition system. The test subjects accumulated over 213,000 miles during a 12-month period throughout parts of southeast Michigan. For each driver, the test period was divided into a 12 day baseline condition with the system disabled and a 28 day treatment condition with the system enabled to compare the effect of the system on driving performance. The results of the analysis suggest that driving with the integrated safety system improves driver behavior and increases driver safety, that drivers feel that the system provides a safety benefit, and that the system alerts had a high degree of accuracy. This report delineates the methodology of the different analyses and discusses their results.

The report is a technical summary of a study that was to determine the effects of special drinking driving sanctions aimed at youthful drivers under the age of 21 years.  This purpose was accomplished by focusing on a Maryland law which restricts driving by those under 21 to a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) less than 0.02% rather than the 0.10% prevailing limit for older drivers.  It was concluded that this special sanction for youth was effective and this effectiveness was significantly potentiated by a public service program which emphasizes the possible penalties for violation of the regulation.  Black and white, 8.5" x 11", 4 pages.

May 2006 Click It or Ticket Seat Belt Mobilization Evaluation: Final Report [Report]

May 2006 Click It or Ticket Seat Belt Mobilization Evaluation: Final Report [Report]


Product ID: 810 979

This study evaluated NHTSAs 2006 National (CIOT)mobilization. This intense, short-duration, seat belt publicity and enforcement mobilization cost approximately $27 million for paid advertising that delivered an enforcement based message urging people to wear a seat belt or risk getting a citation.  Between May 22 and June 4, 2006, law enforcement agencies issued more than 697,000 seat belt citations. Public awareness of the media message was high.  Seat belt use increased in 37 of 50 States and Territories.  The number of States reporting increases in statewide seat belt use and the amount of increase has been shrinking each succeeding year since national mobilizations began in 2002.  In 2006, paid publicity decreased from levels between 2002 through 2005. The number of seat belt citations issued by law enforcement agencies also decreased in 2006.  The National Occupant Protection Usage Survey indicated the nationwide seat belt use rate did not improve between 2005 and 2006.  This report also includes results from other NHTSA demonstration programs that are searching for productive modifications to the typical CIOT process.

Older Drivers Self-Screening Based on Health Concerns

Older Drivers Self-Screening Based on Health Concerns


Product ID: 811 046A&B
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:   These reports describe the development, evaluation, and preliminary validation of a self-screening instrument to assess driving abilities of older drivers.  The purpose of this project was to improve upon existing instruments by focusing entirely on "health concerns" that affect driving.  Presented materials include the results of a literature review, and an expert panel's assessment of how severity levels of specific health concerns influence critical driving skills.
   
IMPLICATIONS FOR HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY:  This study showed the self-screening instrument to have positive value as drivers 75 and older who had a greater number of health concerns (as identified by the instrument) also tended to have poorer observed driving performance.  In addition, they tended to have greater deficits in driving-related abilities as identified by an occupational therapist.  Benefits of self-screening include:  reluctant drivers may be more willing to self assess than to be professionally assessed; people may discover declines at an earlier stage; and self-screening instruments can reach a wide variety of people because such instruments are easily distributed.

The Effect of Passengers on Teen Driver Behavior (Report)

The Effect of Passengers on Teen Driver Behavior (Report)


Product ID: 811 540
A number of studies have shown that passengers substantially increase the risk of crashes for young, novice drivers. This increased risk may result from distractions that young passengers create for drivers. Alternatively, the presence of passengers may increase the likelihood of teenage drivers engaging in explicitly risky behaviors, for example, by actively encouraging drivers to take risks. A better understanding of how transporting peers contributes to young driver increased crash risk will help develop strategies to reduce this risk. NHTSA analyzed data collected through an earlier naturalistic driving study (Goodwin, Foss, Margolis, & Waller, 2010). Over a 6-month study period, event-based data recorders collected 24,085 driving clips, of which 4,466 were selected for analysis. The sample included 52 drivers: 38 newly licensed teens and 14 high-school-age siblings.

Ticketing Aggressive Cars and Trucks on Washington State (Report)

Ticketing Aggressive Cars and Trucks on Washington State (Report)


Product ID: 810 603
In 2004, Congress directed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to work together to educate the drivers of passenger vehicles on how to share the road safely with commercial motor vehicles.  Washington State was selected to pilot this project because of a successful local program developed by the Washington State Patrol called Step Up and RIDE, where a trooper riding in a commercial motor vehicle observed unsafe driving behaviors and radioed other troopers, who then stopped and ticketed the driver. Ticketing Aggressive Cars and Trucks combined the Step Up and RIDE program with high visibility enforcement directed at unsafe driving by any vehicle around commercial motor vehicles. The evaluation results provide a consistent picture of the effectiveness of the TACT pilot project.  Success was demonstrated at every step messages were received and understood, knowledge was changed in the intended direction, self reported behavior improved, and observed behavior confirmed the self reports

Traffic Safety Performance Measures for States and Federal Agencies (Report)

Traffic Safety Performance Measures for States and Federal Agencies (Report)


Product ID: 811 025

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) have agreed on a minimum set of performance measures to be used by States and federal agencies in the development and implementation of behavioral highway safety plans and programs. An expert panel from NHTSA, State Highway Safety Offices, academic and research organizations, and other key groups assisted in developing the measures.

The initial minimum set contains 14 measures: ten core outcome measures, one core behavior measure, and three activity measures. The measures cover the major areas common to State strategic highway safety plans and use existing data systems. States will set goals for and report progress on each of the 11 core outcome and behavior measures annually beginning with their 2010 Highway Safety Plans and Annual Reports. States will report the activity measures annually beginning with their 2010 Highway Safety Plans and Annual Reports. States should define and use additional performance measures for their other high-priority highway safety areas as appropriate.

NHTSA will use the core measures as an integral part of its reporting to the Congress, the public, and others.

Update of Vehicle Sanction Laws and their Application (Volume 1-Summary)

Update of Vehicle Sanction Laws and their Application (Volume 1-Summary)


Product ID: 811 028A&B
Because of the substantial number of driving while intoxicated (DWI) offenders driving illegally with suspended licenses and the limited enforcement resources available to deal with the problem, many States and the Federal government have begun to enact legislation directed at the vehicles owned by offenders to limit their illicit driving. Such policies fall into three broad categories: (1) programs that require special plates on the vehicles of DWI offenders and/or confiscate the vehicle plates and vehicle registration; (2) devices installed in the vehicle that prevent its operation if the driver has been drinking (alcohol ignition interlock); and (3) programs that impound, immobilize, confiscate or forfeit the vehicle. This study updates as of the end of 2004 a 1992 NHTSA study of vehicle sanctions.  The 1992 study reported that 32 States had laws providing for various vehicle sanctions; however, in most of these States these sanctions were rarely used.  This current study updates that effort with a contemporary overview of vehicle sanction laws and their application as of December 2004.  It goes beyond the earlier study by reporting on information from other countries, incorporating a review of ignition interlock devices (not considered in the earlier study) and providing a more recent list of vehicle sanctions on a State-by-State basis.

Using Smart Card Technology to Prevent Sales of Alcohol to Underage Persons (Report)

Using Smart Card Technology to Prevent Sales of Alcohol to Underage Persons (Report)


Product ID: 809 321
This project was implemented to evaluate the utility and effectiveness of the MinorChecker system, a system that provides retailers and servers of alcohol with the ability to quickly and easily determine the age of a potential customer as well as the authenticity of the identification by simply swiping the driver's license through a card reader.  It was hypothesized that the implementation of an education/awareness campaign on underage drinking combined with the MinorChecker would serve to reduce the availability of alcohol to those under 21 years of age by increasing the frequency and efficiency with which licensees checked the IDs of patrons.  Black and white, 8.5" x 11", 46 pages.

West Virginia's Impaired Driving High Visiblity Enforcement Campaign 2003-2005 (Report)

West Virginia's Impaired Driving High Visiblity Enforcement Campaign 2003-2005 (Report)


Product ID: 810 792
During the 2003 July 4th holiday period, West Virginia kicked off their 27-month impaired driving high-visibility enforcement campaign that ended in September 2005.  This campaign, which was designed to reduce impaired driving and ultimately, alcohol-related crash fatalities, consisted of three main components: 1) media with an enforcement message, 2) enhanced periods of enforcement surrounding summer and winter holidays focusing on the use of sobriety checkpoints, and 3) sustained enforcement between holidays. The enforcement component involved two crackdowns.  Each crackdown was to cover 85 percent of the States population and use sobriety checkpoints or saturation patrols.  Paid and earned media supported West Virginias DWI enforcement by delivering a strong enforcement message. In targeted counties, West Virginia significantly reduced the alcohol-related fatality trend and the number of drivers with a positive BAC when they implemented the full NHTSA impaired driving campaign model.  The reduction in alcohol-related fatalities saved an estimated 18 lives over an 18-month period in West Virginia.

Zone Guide For Pedestrian Safety (Booklet)

Zone Guide For Pedestrian Safety (Booklet)


Product ID: 808 742
 The need to make the nation's roadways safer for walkers, has prompted public officials to seek out and create new ideas in a variety of areas--engineering, enforcement, legislation, training, and public education.  However, with the scarcity of funds, communities can efficiently concentrate pedestrian safety improvements by carefully selecting where they are applied.  To do this, they need to be able to identify small land areas (or zones) where these improvements will reach a large number of the pedestrians whose crash risk is to be reduced.  This guide describes what zoning is and explains how to design and use pedestrian safety zones to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of pedestrian safety programs.  Black and white, 8.5" x 11", 14 pages.
