Abstract: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) proposes to assess different models of Highly Visible Enforcement (HVE) of the alcohol-impaired driving laws. The objective will be to determine how the level of HVE relates to community awareness of enforcement activity and the perceived risk of an alcohol-impaired driver being stopped by police. Five sites differing in their levels of HVE will be selected for study over a 1-year period. Three waves of telephone surveys will be conducted at each site to collect the awareness and perceived risk information from drivers age 18 and older who at least on occasion drink alcohol. Each telephone survey will draw landline and cell phone samples, and will employ Random Digit Dial (RDD) techniques during sample selection. Because people who drive at Blood Alcohol Concentrations (BACs) at or above .08 account for much of the fatal alcohol crash problem, this study is particularly interested in assessing the above relationships for drivers at higher risk of driving at illegal BACs. The telephone surveys will collect information from only a relatively small number of these higher risk drivers due to the surveys being applied randomly across the sites. Therefore, a second set of surveys will be conducted at a venue having a higher percentage of drivers who are at higher risk of driving at illegal BACs. Specifically, three waves of in-person surveys will be conducted with bar patrons at each of the five project sites.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The reason for the program change is because this is a new information collection. Highly visible enforcement (HVE) is one of the foremost strategies in traffic safety behavioral programs. The increase in burden is needed by NHTSA to meet its information needs regarding how best to apply HVE.
