• Abstract:
  The purpose of this alcohol ignition interlock toolkit is to provide information about alcohol ignition interlocks and their use to prevent impaired driving. Many States have legislation that requires an alcohol ignition interlock to be placed on the vehicles of Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) offenders. The toolkit includes sections that address frequently asked questions about interlocks, cost and benefits of ignition interlock programs, research on ignition interlocks, point- counterpoint on ignition interlocks, talking points, and the current use of ignition interlocks by State. The toolkit also addresses issues to consider when putting together an ignition interlock program such as indigent funding, monitoring, and offender compliance.
