An observational survey of safety belt and child safety seat use in Virginia : final report : the 1990 update / by Stoke, Charles B.(CARDINAL)311175; Virginia Transportation Research Council.(CARDINAL)195142;
This report was prepared in response to a request from the Transportation Safety Administration of the Virginia Department of motor Vehicles for data concerning the use of safety belts and child safety seats by the occupants of vehicles bearing Virginia license plates. In an effort to track changes in safety belt use as a result of various statutory enactments, enforcement campaigns, and public information efforts, a series of surveys were conducted over two time periods: (1) 1974 through 1977, and (2) 1983 through 1990. Until 1987, data were collected in only the four major metropolitan areas of the state. In 1987, survey sites were added in nine smaller communities. These communities are referred to as "towns," although several are legally classified as cities. Prior to enactment of the child safety seat law in 1982 and the safety belt mandatory use law in 1987, safety seat and belt use by the affected groups (children under 4 years of age and all front seat occupants, respectively) showed small yearly increases. After the effective date of each of the statutes, there was a markedly large increase in use by both target groups. The safety seat use rate remained relatively stable over the entire 8-year postlaw period, at approximately 66% of those surveyed. The front seat occupant rate peaked at nearly 62% in the first 6 months after the effective date of the law, declined to about 55% (p < .01) in 1989, and was nearly 57% in 1990. A number of other findings are presented in the report. Among these are the following: (1) belt use was highest in the northern area of the state; (2) there was little difference in use rates throughout the day; (3) a large proportion of child safety seats were misused in an obvious way; and (4) with the exception of infants, older adults had the highest rates of use. It was concluded that the major reason for the increase in safety seat and belt use was the passage of the statutes. Several actions are recommended to increase statewide safety belt use. These include (1) directing public information and enforcement efforts toward residents of smaller communities and rural areas, occupants of the rear seat, young males, and areas of the state where use rates are below 50%, and (2) amending the safety belt mandatory use law to include rear seat occupants.

An observational survey of safety belt and child safety seat use in Virginia : final report : the 1989 update / by Stoke, Charles B.(CARDINAL)311175; Virginia Transportation Research Council.(CARDINAL)195142;
The report has been prepared in response to a request from the Transportation Safety Administration of the Department of Motor Vehicles for data concerning the use of safety belts and child safety seats by the occupants of vehicles bearing Virginia license plates. In an effort to track changes in safety belt use as a result of various statutory enactments, enforcement campaigns, and public information efforts, a series of surveys were conducted. These surveys occurred over two time periods: 1974 through 1977, and 1983 through 1989. During the period ending in 1986, only the four major metropolitan areas of the state were used for data collection. From 1987 through 1989, survey sites were added in nine smaller communities. These areas are referred to as "towns," although several are legally classified as cities. Prior to enactment of the child safety seat law in the 1982 session of the Virginia General Assembly and the occupant restraint law in the 1987 session, belt use by the affected groups (children under 4 years of age and all front seat occupants) showed small yearly increases. After the effective date of each of the statutes, there was a markedly large increase in use by both target groups. The child seat use rate has remained relatively stable over the entire 7-year postlaw period, at approximately two-thirds of those surveyed. The front seat rate peaked at nearly 63% in the first 6 months after the effective date of law and subsequently declined to about 55% (p < .01). A number of other findings are presented in the report. Among these are the following: (1) belt use was highest in the northern area of the state; (2) there was little difference in use rates throughout the day; (3) a large proportion of child seats were misused in an obvious way; and (4) older adults had the highest rates of use with the exception of infants. It was concluded that the major reason for the increase in belt use was the passage of the statutes requiring use by the two targeted groups of occupants. Several recommendations are made to increase statewide safety belt use. These include directing public information and enforcement efforts toward residents of smaller communities and rural areas, occupants of the rear seating positions, young males, and areas of the state where large declines in use have occurred. It is also recommended that the mandatory use law be modified to apply also to rear seat occupants.
