Speed Management Workshop (Brochure) Speed Management is a national and far-reaching problem that is best solved through collaborative and comprehensive efforts at all levels of government. However, from road design to enforcement, the ability to implement policies designed to mitigate speed-related injuries and fatalities rests largely with State and local officials.

State Alcohol-Impaired Driving Estimates The following data provides estimates of alcohol involvement in fatal crashes for the United States and individually for the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico (not included in the national totals) in 2010. For a comparison, data from 10 years ago (2001) are also presented. These estimates are based on data from NHTSA’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). Unfortunately, known blood alcohol concentration (BAC) test results are not available for all drivers involved in fatal crashes. Missing data can result for a number of reasons, the most frequent of which is that people are not always tested for alcohol.
State Blood Alcohol Concentration Testing and Reporting for Drivers Involved in Fatal Crashes This report documents current State blood alcohol concentration (BAC) testing and reporting practices and results for drivers involved in fatal crashes. It summarizes known BAC results by State for the years 1997 to 2009 for both fatally injured and surviving drivers. It provides an overview of State practices using information obtained from telephone discussions with all States and all NHTSA Regions. It documents case studies of 9 States (Alaska, Hawaii, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and South Dakota), each of which has improved or maintained high rates of BAC testing and reporting. Successful BAC testing and reporting involves three components: high testing rates, accurate and complete reporting, and careful management. This can be accomplished through laws, policies, or practices. The process involves testing, reporting, tracking, and follow-up. The context involves education, training, and management. A summary presents good practices and strategies for States that wish to improve their BAC testing and reporting.

Strategic Evaluation States Initiative (Impaired Driving Report) [Report] Four common themes surfaced in the case studies: (1) Data were used and strong plans were developed to achieve high visibility, multi-agency enforcement operations (saturation patrols and/or sobriety checkpoints) year-round on a monthly basis with a focus on areas that represented 65 percent of the alcohol fatality problem in the State; (2) Charismatic leadership helped secure commitments from law enforcement agencies and provided clear guidance on the direction of the impaired driving enforcement program; (3) Law enforcement training, such as in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing, was essential to help prepare law enforcement officers for the operations and to obtain their personal commitment; and (4)Targeted messaging were used through earned and paid media along with extensive outreach efforts to raise public awareness of these efforts at the State and local level and increase general deterrence or stop impaired driving before it happens. The findings hold promise for greater community involvement to support local impaired driving law enforcement efforts. Section 402 funds or other available impaired driving may be requested to support planning and training activities, equipment needs such as full-staff and low-staff checkpoint supplies, and media training for local/municipal police departments. Local/municipal law enforcement agencies should conduct coordinated, long-range planning on a regional basis to ensure ongoing impaired driving law enforcement activities throughout the year across the State or regions within the State.

Each approach is discussed in detail. Full color, 8.5" x 11", 133 pages.
Strengthening the citizen and the Law Enforcement Partnership at the Traffic stop (CD-ROM) The Guide was developed to assist law enforcement agencies in conducting traffic stops in a professional manner, to enhance public relations and the image of the law enforcement agency, maintain the credibility of the law enforcement agency and to minimize the number of complaints.
Summary of Vehicle Occupant Protection Laws
The National Highway Traffic Safety Primary Administration is responsible for reducing motor vehicle-related fatalities and injuries on our Nation’s highways. Research has shown that effective State and local traffic safety laws play an important role in helping to reduce motor vehicle crashes. For example, in 2010, States with primary seat belt laws had a 12% higher belt use rate on average compared to States without primary seat belt laws.
This publication provides a summary chart of the key provisions of State occupant protection laws and detailed lists of these laws in every State. Such laws include requiring the use of (1) seat belts, (2) child passenger restraint devices, and (3) motorcycle or bicycle helmets. Also included are laws concerning age restrictions for motorcycle passengers and laws that prohibit riding in the bed of a pickup truck. Except as noted, the status of the State laws reported is as of May 1, 2011.
