This book was released on 2012 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As states continue to strive for safer roadways, seat belt laws remain a major policy issue in state legislatures across the country. The effectiveness of seat belt usage in saving lives during motor vehicle accidents is well-documented, but the methods used to enforce mandates vary across state lines. Resistance to tougher seat belt laws continues to exist on the grounds that they are either ineffective or a violation of personal freedoms. As of 2011 though, twenty-four states and the District of Colombia have upgraded from secondary to primary enforcement of existing seat belt laws. In this thesis, I analyze the impact that tougher enforcement laws have for states with regard to reducing roadway fatality rates. This research updates previous works by considering an additional ten states which have converted to primary enforcement since the last known study. Using state-level panel data collected from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the United States Census Bureau, I create a series of fixed effect regression models to determine if there are significant benefits observed in states which adopt stricter seat belt enforcement laws. I find that, in terms of both lives and money saved, states experience significant benefits after upgrading existing secondary laws to primary enforcement. Closer examination reveals that this impact is not homogenous across states and that adopting primary laws may have outsized benefits for highly-populous states and specific geographic regions such as the Southeast and Pacific Coast.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seat belt usage has frequently been identified as one of the most effective ways of improving highway safety and considered to be particularly useful in reducing fatalities. However, the state of Kansas experiences considerably lower safety belt usage rates compared to many other states and the national average. The Kansas Department of Transportation and other involved parties are interested in improving the usage rates and thereby improve safety of road users in Kansas. Accordingly, the main objective of this study was to explore the methods to increase seat belt usage in Kansas with the intention of reducing huge economic losses to the state in the form of traffic crashes. This objective was achieved by two parallel approaches: (1) By identifying the factors that affect safety belt usage in Kansas so that more effective programs could be developed. (2) By gathering information on attitudes, perceptions, understanding and other related characteristics of Kansans in relation to safety belt use. During the first approach, statistical models were developed to predict state seat belt usage rates based on factors that include demographic characteristics, socio-economic factors and policies/regulations. To supplement this, statistical models predicting traffic fatalities and unrestrained vehicle occupant fatalities as a function of seat belt law and other characteristics mentioned previously were also developed. These models could be used to quantify the effects of enforcing primary seat belt law in saving lives in Kansas. During the second approach, focus group surveys were conducted among Kansans to identify more direct human factor related issues and seat belt usage in Kansas. Focus group surveys of Kansas drivers were a real eye opener, indicating very low understanding regarding the seat belt law, where lower income groups, younger drivers, and minority groups particularly lagged. Stated belt use behavior revealed that females versus males, van users versus pick-up truck drivers, older drivers versus young drivers, non-Hispanics versus Hispanics are more likely to use seat belts. Reasons for non-use included absence of factors which positively affect the decision, types of trips. Even though some of these factors are beyond control, other findings indicate that a considerable percentage of drivers suggest stricter laws and other punishments to improve their own safety, perhaps because they are not able to maintain a high level of self-discipline by themselves.
