Technology Applications for Traffic Safety Programs: A Primer(Manual) This document explores how emerging digital and communications technology can advance safety on the Nation’s highways. The range of technology described in this report is available or will be available in the near future to improve traffic safety. As new traffic safety applications become widespread and implementation costs decrease, there could be a network of advanced systems that improve traffic safety by providing information and services to drivers, traffic operations agencies, emergency services personnel, and law enforcement professionals. Discussions in this report include a general overview of traffic safety technology; the use of technology to reach traffic safety goals using the framework of the “Four E’s” of engineering, enforcement, education, and EMS; and the technical and non-technical challenges for these technology applications.
Teen Driver Crashes: A Report to Congress (Report) This report summarizes what is known about the major causes of teen driver crashes. It reviews the available evidence about what has been shown to be effective in reducing teen driver crashes, including a discussion of graduated driver licensing for novice drivers, and makes a number of recommendations regarding suggested graduated driver licensing program requirements and other ways to reduce teen driver crashes. It concludes with recommendations for improving teen driver safety.
Ten Unsafe Driving Behaviors: Focus Group Final Report (Report) This report provides extensive insight into unsafe driving behaviors in teenage motorists and passengers, and also identifies messages and communication strategies that are likely to affect these driving behaviors. The focus and affinity groups that were conducted for this project clearly demonstrated that teens are very sophisticated in terms of what types of traffic safety messages they will accept. Therefore, communities and youth safety organizations who are in the planning stages of developing traffic safety programs designed for youth can use the report findings to learn about what safety message characteristics motivate and discourage teen drivers, the friends of teen drivers (who are likely to be teen drivers themselves) and the parents of teen drivers. This information can also be used by the institutions that deal directly with teen drivers: motor vehicle administrations, police departments, driver's ed instructors, insurance companies, and health care providers (pediatricians and adolescent health specialists). The ABCs of BAC: a simple guide to understanding blood alcohol concentration and alcohol impairment. This brochure was developed to educate the general public about the effects of alcohol on the body.

The Detection of DWl Motorcyclists (Brochure) This brochure was developed to assist law enforcement personnel with the detection of impaired motorcycle operators. The cues described and illustrated in the Detection of DWI Motorcyclists (and on the accompanying removable pocket-size detection guide) are the behaviors most likely to discriminate between impaired and normal operation of a motorcycle. The companion training video (6A0002) is also available. Four color, 4" x 9", 18 pages.
The Effect of Passengers on Teen Driver Behavior (Report) 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.

The Pregnant Woman’s Guide to Buckling Up
The Role of Supervised Driving in a Graduated Driver Licensing Program Overall, the analyses did not find evidence that requiring 30 to 60 hours supervised driving practice results in different crash rates for 16- or 17-year-old drivers. With low parental awareness and little or no licensing agency verification, it is difficult to determine whether teenagers drove the minimum number of supervised hours required by their States. Improvements in communications with parents and novice drivers about supervised driving requirements, guidance to parents about the best techniques to provide supervision, and tracking actual hours and conditions of supervised driving would be beneficial.

Ticketing Aggressive Cars and Trucks on Washington State (Report) 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) 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.
Traffic Safety Resources Prosecutor's Manual The Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor's Manual (TSRP) is for new traffic safety resource prosecutors to assist them as they begin their new positions. It is a compilation of the efforts of experienced TSRPs who have been in similar positions and did not have the resources at hand, so they developed their resources over a period of time. This manual will reduce the amount of time that a new TSRP will need to work with other prosecutors, and with NHTSA, other criminal justice entities, State highway safety offices, and traffic safety groups. Implications for Highway Safety Program Planning - Prosecutors have an intricate role in promoting highway safety through their actions at the local level. By promoting TSRP's at the State level, the local prosecutors have the resources and technical expertise that until recently has only been available at the national level. Having prosecutors trained earlier in their career will reduce the number of serious traffic cases that are dismissed or negotiated to lesser offenses. This manual has been developed by veteran TSRPs and sets forth the tenets for a new TSRP as they begin their careers. State highway safety offices can use this as a resource for new TSRP and/or for recruiting new TSRPs
