Abstract

This report presents results from the 2015 National Occupant Protection Use Survey (NOPUS) Controlled Intersection Study. NOPUS is the only nationwide probability-based occupant restraint use survey. The National Center for Statistics and Analysis of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conducts this survey annually. The 2015 NOPUS found that seat belt use continued to be higher for females (90.7%) than for males (86.6%). Seat belt use among male drivers increased from 84.3 percent in 2014 to 86.6 percent in 2015. Seat belt use in the rear seat (74.8%) was lower than in the front seat (88.5%). Overall restraint use for children under 8 years old in 2015 was 89.8 percent compared to 90.9 percent in 2014. (Author/publisher)
