• Abstract:
  The September 2002 survey was the first of its kind: the first to measure the seat belt
  
  usage rate in rural Canada only. Rural Canada was defined as towns with a population of
  
  fewer than 10,000 but more than 1,000 that are located outside any census metropolitan
  
  area or census agglomeration. The survey targeted front seat occupants of passenger cars,
  
  light pick-up trucks and minivans. The survey, which occurred over the week of
  
  September 23 to September 29, involved two separate observation periods at each of
  
  124 sites. Each observation period was two hours long and took place during daylight
  
  hours (between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.). A total of 35,402 vehicles and 48,115
  
  occupants were observed during the course of the study.
