The first fact sheet, published in December 2015, summarized national results regarding alcohol-impaired driving in the United States. This second fact sheet compares national and regional differences in driver practices across the U.S., and investigates concern associated with the consequences of impaired driving. It also takes a special look at familiarity with, and use of, alternative transportation options in the U.S. to avoid alcohol-impaired driving. The survey takes the pulse of the nation on the alcohol-impaired driving issue by means of an online survey of a random, representative sample of American drivers aged 21 years or older. A total of 5,009 participants within the U.S. completed the poll in October and November of 2015. The first section of the fact sheet summarizes available research on alternative transportation options, and subsequent sections present 2015 data in terms of practices, concern associated with consequences of impaired driving, and the availability and use of alternative transportation programs. This fact sheet is based on data gathered as part of an annual public opinion survey, the 2015 USA Road Safety Monitor (RSM), conducted by the Traffic Injury Research Foundation USA, Inc. (TIRF USA) with funding from Anheuser-Busch. (Author/publisher)
