| Abstract | This report is the second in a series of four annual reports to the Congress on provisions of state safety belt use laws and other programmatic factors related to increasing safety belt use levels. The first Congressional Report reviewed what was known about why some states and communities have achieved higher belt use than others under their belt use laws. It concluded that effective, well-publicized belt law enforcement is the major key to achieving greater belt use. The report identified the gaps in our knowledge of how best to conduct these programs and suggested research and demonstration activities necessary to fill these gaps. This second annual report describes the research and demonstration activities implemented to test alternative enforcement strategies and publicity approaches. This effort will help the NHTSA define the characteristics of effective programs for dissemination to other police agencies and communities. /Abstract from report summary page/ |
