• Abstract:
  This report outlines the process of developing a how-to guide to increase seat belt use in Indian Country, titled Bridging Cultures to Buckle Up: A Guide for Working with Tribes to Increase Seat Belt Use. The guide is designed for State and local officials as well as non-government organizations and advocates who are interested in partnering with Tribes in their areas to improve traffic safety through occupant protection, specifically seat belt use. Its development was made possible through a collaborative effort that included representatives from Indian Country across the United States, including Tribes, nations, bands, villages, pueblos, rancherias, as well as State and Federal transportation safety officials and Tribal liaisons. The report summarizes the activities involved in developing the guide, including convening a Tribal Advisory Council and several virtual working groups in NHTSA’s Regions 6 and 10 that involved Tribal and State representatives. During these meetings, participants identified issues to be addressed in the guide; provided input, content, and examples; and reviewed drafts of the guide. The report outlines key themes from the Tribal Advisory Council and working group meetings that inform each chapter. It also highlights some successes and challenges of the project.
