Within the next hour, an average of
one person will die in an alcohol-impaired-driving crash and one
person will die unbuckled in a crash. In 2014, 9,967 people died in
alcohol-impaired-driving crashes, an average of one
alcohol-impaired-driving death every 53 minutes. In the same year,
9,385 people died in passenger vehicle crashes while not wearing a
seat belt, an average of one person dying unbuckled every 56
minutes. To help decrease alcohol-impaired-driving deaths and save
more lives with seat belts, approval is requested to conduct a
public information collection to help evaluate the effectiveness of
two traffic safety programs called Building Community Support for
Impaired Driving Enforcement and Building Community Support for
Seat Belt Enforcement. The programs will use community-oriented
enforcement programs to increase community involvement in and
support for alcohol-impaired-driving and seat belt enforcement. The
programs are designed to create stronger community norms
surrounding the value of traffic enforcement and the importance of
driving sober and being buckled. A key to determining if these
programs reach their objective is to survey the public regarding
exposure to the program and support for enforcement.
