Description

To be eligible for certain federal grants, states must document levels of compliance with seatbelt laws. During June, July and August of 2001, ISER researchers recorded and analyzed seat belt use by drivers and front seat passengers in both passenger cars and trucks. In the sample area (which includes 85 percent of the state's population), 63 percent of drivers and 60 percent of outboard passengers were wearing seatbelts. these numbers reflect an increase of just over 1 percent over what was observed in 2000.
