| Abstract | This study was to analyze current State practices in funding State alcohol highway safety programs. The results were intended to provide guidelines for establishing and improving self-sustaining alcohol safety programs. The literature was reviewed and data was collected by telephone from 22 State representatives; information was obtained from personal interviews with six of the initially surveyed program employees. The principal findings and conclusions are: 1) There may be a great deal of reluctance for States to initiate or expand programs because of large expense and difficulty of presenting direct benefits from expenditures; 2) a client fee of $200 is a reasonable sum for a comprehension self-supportive program; 3) It is recommended that clients reach the alcohol safety program not only through the court, but through an administrative action on the part of motor vehicle departments; 4) There should be a State alcohol safety program office to help administer and support the local programs; 5) No special funds should be allocated for enforcement agencies; 6) Most motor vehicle laws are written so that alcohol safety programs could be an adjunct to the driver education programs and that additional legislation is really not necessary. /Abstract from report summary page/ |
