The focus of the symposium and the subsequent proceedings contained in this report is “Planning for Success”. Jurisdictions have long-recognized that the success of any alcohol interlock program, whether it focuses on offenders, or commercial drivers, or the public at large, is contingent on a range of key components — solid research, sophisticated technology, program development that is sensitive to context, political will sustained though legislation and policy, and finally public awareness and support. The objective of this report is to provide jurisdictions with the latest knowledge about alcohol interlocks from a research perspective that is tempered by the experiences and insights of knowledgeable practitioners. The symposium and the subsequent proceedings from it are designed to assist jurisdictions that have implemented, that are implementing or that are considering implementing alcohol interlocks to “plan for success” by sharing with them how to build and develop the essential ingredients of a successful interlock strategy.
