• 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.
