Abstract: The purpose of this consumer research is to obtain critical information that will allow NHTSA and NCAP to fulfill a congressional mandate to improve highway traffic safety. Specifically, the data from this collection will be used to enhance consumer comprehension of safety rating information and guide the development of a consumer education program related to vehicle safety. The findings from this proposed research will assist NHTSA in ensuring that the information developed by NCAP as part of the Monroney label is easily comprehended by consumers. NHTSA will use the findings to develop relevant and effective consumer education initiatives to increase awareness and comprehension of vehicle safety concerns.
