Abstract: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) proposes to collect information on community-level perceptions of enforcement of the laws prohibiting alcohol-impaired driving in order to relate that information to different models of Highly Visible Enforcement (HVE) conducted by law enforcement agencies. Five sites have been selected for study: Rockford, Peoria, and Decatur in Illinois; and Fresno and San Luis Obispo in California. A maximum of three waves of telephone surveys will be conducted at each site to collect data from community members concerning awareness of enforcement activity and perceptions of the likelihood a driver would be stopped if driving while alcohol-impaired. Interviewers will survey drivers age 18 and older who at least on occasion drink alcohol. Each telephone survey will draw landline and cell phone samples, and will employ Random Digit Dial (RDD) techniques during sample selection. Because people who drive at Blood Alcohol Concentrations (BACs) at or above .08 account for much of the fatal alcohol crash problem, this study is particularly interested in assessing the above relationship for drivers at higher risk of driving at illegal BACs. The telephone surveys will collect information from only a relatively small number of these higher risk drivers due to the surveys being applied randomly across the sites. Therefore, a second set of surveys will be conducted at a venue having a higher percentage of drivers who are at higher risk of driving at illegal BACs. Specifically, a maximum of three waves of in-person surveys will be conducted with patrons at bars or other establishments that serve alcohol at each of the five project sites.
