• Abstract:
  From 2005-2009 there were over 200,000 arrests for Operating while intoxicated (OWI) in the State of ; Wisconsin. The project had three primary goals. First, data on OWI offenders were analyzed to ; determine if there existed any driver characteristics which were more likely to be associated with OWI ; offenders who had a subsequent arrest within 1 or 2 years of the initial arrest. The intent of this was to ; determine if there was a statistically support means for identifying those drivers for whom an ignition ; interlock device (IID) should be a priority. Second, data on overall arrest levels during these 5 years ; were analyzed in an effort to determine future OWI arrests levels in order to predict potential demand ; for IIDs over the next 10 years. Third, costs for IIDs and options for financing the purchase of IIDs ; was studied by conducting phone interviews with IID manufacturers and studying IID financing ; programs in other states. The goal was to understand the feasibility of generating sufficient revenues to ; improve installation rates by addressing cost.
