This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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, which included enforcement and publicity, 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. Observational surveys of seat belt usage found similar results, with a median 6.5-point rural increase in 2005 and a median 3.8-point rural increase in 2006. Statewide, there was a median 4.7-point increase in 2005 and a 4.1-point increase in 2006. Over the two-year program, there was a median 9.2-point increase in rural areas and a median 6.5-point increase statewide. 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 use, both observed and among crash victims, showed continued increases during the period of the RDP/CIOT mobilizations, a time during which there was very little progress nationwide.

Book excerpt: Two risk behaviors related to fatal traffic crashes are failure to use safety belts and driving while impaired by alcohol. High-visibility enforce. (HVE) campaigns that combine enforce. of a traffic safety law with media to inform the public about the campaign are effective in reducing these behaviors. In 2005, the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: authorized funding of an HVE program, including safety belt and impaired-driving campaigns. The Nat. Highway Traffic Safety Admin. (NHTSA) provides enforce. activities for the campaigns. This report addresses: the extent to which NHTSA has implemented the HVE program; and the impact of the campaigns and challenges that exist in conducting the campaigns. Illus.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seat belt use on rural roads is especially important due to the relatively high risk for injury compared to urban areas. In the northern plains, where nearly 90% of travel occurs on rural roads, addressing this issue is particularly critical. A cohort group of 32 states was used to study seat belt use on rural roads. Means tests and regression models were designed to identify influential factors in state-level seat belt use rates as well as individual driver seat belt decisions. Results show state-level seat belt use rates are inversely related to the share of annual miles traveled on rural roads. Higher citation rates are positively related to seat belt use in the case of state-level rates. Fatal crash event analysis shows that higher shares of urban population in the state where the crash occurred increases likelihood for seat belt use. Primary enforcement is associated with a 14% greater probability for seat belt use among cohort drivers. Higher fines also have a significant influence. Cohort drivers were 21% less likely to be belted when fines were $20 or less. This effect is more pronounced in primary states than secondary states. Drivers in those states are 36% less likely to be wearing seat belts when fines are at $20 or less. Findings also show that increased driver compliance with seat belt laws in secondary states is influenced by enforcement intensity -- drivers were 18% more likely to be belted in states with high enforcement activity. Among drinking drivers and young adults, primary enforcement produces a substantial increase in likelihood a driver was belted. Findings will be useful in promoting more efficient seat belt interventions for rural areas based on alignment with state and local driver characteristics.
