NHTSA's Stop IMPAIRED Driving Web Site
Provides information on NHTSA's national strategy to stop impaired driving, including highly visible enforcement;
increased prosecution and adjudication; screening and brief intervention; programs across the nation that aid motorists
in the reporting of impaired drivers to law enforcement; and uniform guidelines for state highway safety programs.
The site also includes:
NHTSA's Creating Impaired Driving General Deterrence
This document presents eight case studies of programmatic efforts that are intended to reduce the incidence of impaired driving.
The purpose of the document is to provide examples of promising efforts that might encourage law enforcement managers and others
to consider developing similar programs for their jurisdictions.
NHTSA's_Buzzed_Driving_IS_Drunk_Driving
Most people don't intend to drive home drunk, but too many find themselves at the end of the night without a sober designated driver.
Unfortunately, many of these drivers with a BAC level of .08 or above convince themselves and friends that they are able to drive with
the comment, "I'm okay, I'm just buzzed." NHTSA’s Buzzed Driving IS Drunk Driving campaign addresses this population.
NHTSA/MADD's_Hispanic_Heritage_Kit
Research data show that Hispanics are at particular risk of death or injury from alcohol-related traffic crashes.
To assist in addressing this issue, NHTSA, in conjunction with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), developed
the Hispanic Heritage Kit (HHK). The HHK contains facts, data, laws, and other information on impaired driving
in the form of a brochure, a poster, and a flyer.
NHTSA_Planner_Archives
Provides links to NHTSA planners, focusing on various calendar themes such as holidays and sporting events.
NHTSA's_What_is_a_Designated_Driver_Program?
Designated Driver programs are key components of community-based comprehensive impaired driving prevention efforts.
Combined with highly visible law enforcement, a Designated Driver program gives people the information they need to
make informed choices and seek alternatives to driving while impaired. An important part of a community-based Designated Driver
program is the concept of "Safe Ride” programs, which provide transportation for persons who plan to drink.
The_NSC_Campaign_on_Drug_Impaired_Driving
This public service campaign, launched in 2004, includes radio and print public service announcements (PSAs) to educate consumers
about the dangers of driving while impaired by many common prescription and over-the-counter drugs, such as some antihistamines
and anti-anxiety medications.
Steer_Clear_of_Pot_Media_Campaign
Greater parent involvement, clear rules and parental supervision are associated with less risky teen behavior, such as marijuana use
and driving while high or under the influence of alcohol. The Steer Clear of Pot Media Campaign, sponsored by the National Youth
Anti-Drug Media Campaign, has free resources for parents and teens online, including fact sheets, quizzes and information about
keeping kids drug-free, particularly as it relates to driving.
