Abstract

The effectiveness of the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) in increasing the rate of seat belt use is a well known fact since the first Canadian experiment conducted in Ottawa by Transport Canada and local police departments. The paper reviews the three main components of this projects : public education, enforcement and the use of incentives on a large scale. Measures that could be introduced to achieve a 90% or better seat belt use rate are also briefly discussed.
