Abstract

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the California Office of Traffic Safety, and the Delaware Highway Safety Office demonstrated State-high-visibility enforcement (HVE) programs to reduce handheld phone use while driving. HVE was conducted statewide in Delaware and across the Sacramento Valley region of California. Local law enforcement officers conducted three HVE waves between November 2012 and June 2013. Paid advertisements and news coverage supported the enforcement efforts. Messages conveyed the slogan, Phone in One Hand, Ticket in the Other. The information in this process report includes: (1) how to plan and implement a regional/statewide HVE program that targets phone use while driving; (2) distracted driving enforcement practices; and (3) lessons learned from the California and Delaware distracted driving demonstration programs.
