| Abstract | Following dramatic declines in impaired driving in the 1980’s and early 1990’s, further progress has been challenging to achieve. While there was a 26 percent decline in the number of alcohol-impaired-driving fatalities from 13,290 in 2001 to a low of 9865 in 2011, the number has crept up by 6.4 percent since then to10,497 in 2016. These 10,497 alcohol-impaired-driving fatalities represented 28 percent of the total number of motor vehicle fatalities (37,461) in the United States in 2016. Since 2010, the fatality rate per 100 million vehicle miles traveled (VMT) for alcohol-impaired driving has remained between 0.33 VMT and 0.35 VMT. This report contains case studies of an Impaired-Driving Leadership Model, as it was implemented in three States – New Mexico, Washington State, and Oklahoma. Each case study highlights steps in the process that led to the Leadership Model’s implementation, elements of the Leadership Model’s structure, key components of its operation, and impacts that were observed following the Leadership Model’s implementation. Key elements include: starting the process with an impaired driving assessment; developing an impaired driving strategic plan (which serves as a framework for statewide implementation of future actions); assembling a leadership team (which is tasked with both developing the strategic plan and overseeing and ensuring its implementation); ensuring that team leaders and leadership team members have sufficient knowledge, authority and breadth to effectively oversee the plan’s implementation; and receiving demonstrated support from the State Governor. This report also identifies common and distinguishing elements of the Leadership Model as it has been implemented in these three States, lessons learned, and recommendations for other States that might consider implementing the Leadership Model in the future. While this report cannot attribute any causal relationships between the Impaired-Driving Leadership Models adopted in the three States featured, the report does indicate improvements (declines) in impaired-driving fatalities over time, following implementation of the Leadership Model in these three States. |
