Abstract:

Section 153 of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) established an incentive grant program to support states in adopting and implementing laws requiring the use of safety belts and motorcycle helmets. Having such laws that applied to all front seat occupants of passenger cars and all motorcycle occupants qualified a state for first-year funding. Second- and third-year funding was dependent upon demonstrating a specified level of compliance with each law. This report contains the methodology and results of an observational survey conducted in Virginia in September 1992. This survey was conducted according to guidelines established by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The results show that Virginia's safety belt use rate was 71.6 percent, with a standard error of .001. Motorcycle helmet use was observed to be 100 percent.
