Samenvatting
The national occupant restraint program 2001 (NORP 2001) is an initiative of the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators. NORP 2001 has as its objective to maintain or achieve seat belt usage rates of 95% for all occupants in light-duty vehicles (passenger cars, passenger vans and light-trucks). Transport Canada's contribution to this program is to monitor seat belt usage rates in Canada and this is done through conducting an annual survey. The latest survey of seat belt use took place between July 7 and July 13, 1997.
