BACKGROUND The Office of Traffic Injury Control, Research and Program Delivery (RPD) administers traffic safety programs and provides national leadership and technical assistance to States, local communities, national organizations, and other partners in the identification, research, planning, development, demonstration, evaluation, and dissemination of highway safety programs. Each year, approximately 40,000 people die in motor vehicle crashes. A significant portion of these crashes is attributed to people driving impaired. In 2007, 32 percent of fatalities in motor vehicle traffic crashes involved at least one driver or motorcycle rider with a BAC of.08 or above - an average of one fatality every 39 minutes. A total of 12,998 people were killed in these crashes. Impaired driving is one of America's most often-committed and deadliest crimes. Many states with high numbers and rates of impaired driving fatalities are also found to have high crime, poor health scores and low education levels. This information may suggest that there are factors or characteristics of a State or community that may create an environment for high risk behaviors such as impaired driving. OBJECTIVES The Impaired Driving Division of the RPD is interested in: •1. Determining whether there are demographic, socioeconomic, environmental, health, educational, cultural, or other characteristics of a State or community that may be associated with high rates or numbers of alcohol-impaired driving. •2.

E pidemiological practices and population-based management. Writing detailed analytic reports as well as reports that describe programs and campaigns for use by the public, program managers, State officials, and policy makers.
