Abstract

UseSeat belt use rates in the States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico are shown in Table 1. The results were obtained by observing traffic on roads at selected observation sites. Where rates are missing from the table, States did not submit rates to NHTSA. For more information on State seat belt use rates, see the National Occupant Protection Use Survey (NOPUS) Crash*Stat titled “Seat Belt Use in 2007 -- Use Rates in the States and Territories” (DOT HS 810 949). The overall observed shoulder belt use rate was 82 percent in 2007, compared to 81 percent observed in 2006, 82 percent in 2005, 80 percent in 2004, 79 percent in 2003, 75 percent in 2002, and 73 percent in 2001. In 1994, the overall observed shoulder belt use rate was 58 percent. (Author/publisher)
