The past few years have seen a disturbing reversal in the progress in preventing impaired driving crashes in the United States. This has occurred despite an ever-growing body of knowledge about what works. In response to this situation, the Alcohol, Other Drugs, and Transportation Committee of the Transportation Research Board held a symposium to discuss the implementation of research-based strategies and the challenges such implementation often faces. The symposium was held at the Beckman Conference Center on the campus of the University of California in Irvine, California, on August 21–22, 2003. This report provides an overview of the information presented and the discussions among the participants, as well as the background papers prepared for the symposium. (Author/publisher)
