GUIDANCE FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE AASHTO STRATEGIC HIGHWAY SAFETY PLAN. VOLUME 11: A GUIDE FOR INCREASING SEATBELT USE

The goal of the AASHTO Strategic Highway Safety Plan is to reduce annual highway fatalities by 5,000 to 7,000. This goal can be achieved through the widespread application of low-cost, proven countermeasures that reduce the number of crashes on the nation's highways. This eleventh volume of NCHRP Report 500, Guidance for Implementation of the AASHTO Strategic Highway Safety Plan, provides strategies that can be employed to increase the use of seatbelts. The report will be of particular interest to safety practitioners with responsibility for implementing programs to reduce injuries and fatalities on the highway system.
