Campaign to Reduce Impaired Driving Though Retail-Oriented Enforcement in Wash. State [Report] Research indicates up to 50 percent of persons driving under the influence had their last drink at a licensed establishment. This program targets those establishments that produce high levels of DUI arrests as indicated by "place of last drink" information collected on DUI arrest reports. This information is used to reduce the incidents of sales to intoxicate and ultimately the number of impaired drivers on the roads.
Capital Beltway Update: Beltway User Focus Group (Report) This report summarizes the results of the third in a series of focus groups conducted to determine motorists' perceptions of safety on the Capital Beltway. Previous focus groups were completed in 1994 and 1995, to measure public reaction to public service announcements discouraging aggressive driving on the Beltway.

Case Studies of Ignition Interlock Programs (Report) Under a contract with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Acclaro Research Solutions, Inc. prepared this program guide of case studies. The guide profiles the work of six States and their use of ignition interlocks as part of an overall strategy to combat alcohol-impaired driving.
Case Studies on Increasing Impaired-Driving Enforcement Visibility Research has shown that an effective way to reduce impaired driving is to increase the perceived risk of being stopped and arrested by law enforcement if driving while impaired. One of the most successful strategies for doing this is the coupling of intense and highly visible enforcement with publicity about the enforcement campaign. The term “high-visibility enforcement” (HVE) is used
Characteristics and Conditions of Teenage Safety Belt Use (Report) This report documents observed safety belt use among 7,384 vehicle occupants age 15 to 19 in Texas, Virginia, Idaho and Mississippi.

Black and white, 8.5" x 11", 51 pages.
Child Passenger Safety Restraint Systems on School Buses National Training (STUDENT MANUAL) More and more school bus drivers (monitors/aides/attendants) find themselves transporting pre-school age children and infants. By law, most children age 4 and younger must be transported in a child safety restraint system. However, even if it isn't the law, national guidelines based on research recommend that young children be restrained in child restraint system during transport. This manual provides important passenger safety information to those who are involved with transporting pre-school age children and infants in a school. 8.5" x 11", four color, 110 pages.

Children and Cars - A Potentially Lethal Combination (Manual) Children are our most precious resource. Unfortunately, they do not have the skills to protect themselves. Adults can, and must protect them. Most States codify this obligation in various child abuse and endangerment statutes. Still, many States fail to statutorily recognize the relationship in the traffic safety context. Indeed, even though virtually every State recognizes the inherent dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol r DWI), many do not articulate special sanctions for DWI/DUI. This monograph addresses motor vehicle occupant protection issues concerning children. The document discusses the dangers children face and identifies relevant laws and possible criminal prosecutions. It identifies these incidents for what many of them truly are: important, if often overlooked forms of child abuse.
Choosing the Correct School Bus for Transporting Pre-School Age Children [Booklet] This booklet is designed for anyone who is responsible for selecting and buying school buses, including how to select a school bus based on features and equipment necessary to safely transport pre-school age passengers. During the past decade there has been a significant increase in transporting pre-school age children to school by non-traditional transportation providers, such as childcare and Head Start programs. 8.5" x 11", two color, 16 pages.
Click It or Ticket Mobilization Evaluation (Report) Click it or Ticket is an intense, short duration seatbelt paid advertising and high visibility enforcement program. The National Occupant Protection Use Survey recorded the national usage rate at 79 percent, a 4 percent increase over 2002. National telephone surveys conducted just before and just after the May campaign indicated substantial increases in the number of drivers who had recently seen or heard of police enforcement of seat belt use and thought that police are writing more tickets. It was concluded that a highly publicized national program of belt use enforcement can increase the number of people who buckle up. 8.5" x 11", full color, 53 pages.

Community How to Guides on Underage Drinking Prevention [Manual] This series of nine manuals was developed by the National Association of Governors' Highway Safety Representatives (NAGHSR) in cooperation with NHTSA, to assist community coalition members and prevention specialists with the fundamental components of planning and implementing a comprehensive prevention program targeting underage drinking. Topics addressed in the guides include coalition building, needs assessment and strategic planning, evaluation, prevention and education, underage enforcement, public policy, media relations, self-sufficiency and available resources. Each guide is brief, easy to use, and includes useful tools and additional resources. Full color, 8.5" x 11", 423 pages.
Community-Based Impaired Driving Programs The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recognizes that impaired driving is a complicated issue that cannot be addressed with one solution. “Alcohol-impaired-driving1 fatalities are affected by several external factors, including geography, urbanization, road structure and conditions, and economic activity, as well as by a State’s laws and programs” (NHTSA, 2011, p. 1-2). Strategies that address impaired driving focus on educating people on dangers of driving impaired, keeping people from becoming too impaired to drive, preventing them from driving after drinking, stopping them while driving impaired, and keeping DUI offenders from repeating the behavior. While many impaired-driving programs are implemented at the State level, NHTSA recognizes that the lack of resources and political challenges may make implementation of needed and effective legislation and programs difficult. In addition, States may find that some programs are effective in some communities but not others. This publication is intended to be a resource to help communities identify appropriate, effective, and promising strategies and legislation that can be implemented on a local level. It is not intended as a how-to-guide, but rather describes and provides examples of each strategy. Leaders and program managers within communities may find this useful in helping to jump start or reenergize their efforts to reduce impaired driving. This publication is divided into three primary sections: (1) understanding a community’s impaired-driving problem, (2) strategies that reduce impaired driving, and (3) references and appendix.
Compendium of NHTSA's Pedestrian and Bicyclist Traffic Safety Research Projects 1969-2007 This compendium describes the pedestrian and bicyclist safety research conducted by the Office of Behavioral Safety Research and its predecessor organizations during the period 1969-2007. The compendium begins with a description of the structure and philosophy of the NHTSA pedestrian and bicycle research programs. It is followed by a section that describes the research on the development of taxonomies of crash types, since the results of that research formed the foundation for many of the subsequent NHTSA pedestrian and bicycle research studies. A chronological listing of major activities that occurred in the decades spanned by NHTSA's pedestrian and bicyclist research programs is then presented. The final section discusses lessons learned from the pedestrian and bicycle research activities. Appendix A to this compendium contains abstracts of relevant research in a standardized format. Appendix B presents lists of pedestrian and bicyclist crash types as they have evolved over the years.
Configurations of EMS Systems: A Pilot Study (Report) The purpose of this study was to create a typology for classifying the configurations of EMS systems.

It also gives an overview of the complexities of the criminal justice system to help explain why they may be called to testify more than once, and asked the same questions on the same subject for the same case. It helps answer some of their initial questions and concerns. Detailed answers may come from colleagues who have previously testified in court, as well as from the attorney who subpoenaed them to testify.
Cross-Examination for Prosecutors Cross-examination is an art form only occasionally practiced by prosecutors, who instead necessarily focus much of their efforts on direct examination. This monograph was developed to assist prosecutors in understanding the basic goals, methods, and forms of cross-examination when dealing with all witnesses. IMPLICATIONS FOR HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY: Many of the cases prosecuted in the state and local jurisdictions are traffic oriented. With this in mind, this monograph assists local prosecutors in honing their skills in the art of cross-examination, particularly as it applies to traffic cases. This will result in better case preparation and the likelihood of a successful prosecution.
