Abstract Deaths and injuries on the highway, even though America's accident rate is the lowest in the world, remain the nation's highest cause of unnecessary fatalities, and a good half of those losses are related to the drinking driver. In its attempt to reduce the toll, the United States is turning from solely technological actions to complex social engineering aimed at controlling the human factors in the drinking driving problem. The largest attempt has been the Alcohol Safety Action Program of the U. S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration started in 1970 and still continuing. This research was an analysis of the first 3. 5 years of that program. V olume II analyzes the cost of conducting an Alcohol Safety Action Project in a local community or a State. Financial data were collected from a sample of ten of the thirty-five Alcohol Safety Action Projects; the sample included State, county and city projects. Data were developed for the actual projects funded by NHTSA, and were estimated for an assumed condition of local implementation and funding. The primary objective of the research was to determine the potential of ASAP's for financial self-sufficiency.
