Interstate 66 is a 75-mile highway extending from I-81 at Strasburg in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia to Washington, D.C. The first 65 miles stretching eastward from I-81 were constructed routinely and with few problems. The final 10-mile segment in the Washington suburbs of Northern Virginia, however, has been surrounded by considerable controv

It has been suggested that the use of safety belts on large school buses might have a "carryover effect", increasing students use of belts in automobiles. An exploratory study was conducted in 9 school districts that initiated their own bus belt programs. Informal discussions were held with non-statistically sampled groups of students, parents, sch
