Book Description
The Minnesota Office of Traffic Safety (OTS)- an arm of the Department of Public Safety (DPS)- worked with Market Decisions Research (MDR) to develop this survey. It was deployed via online panel sample, with the goal of assessing Minnesota drivers' attitudes towards safety behaviors, awareness of traffic safety messages, and changes in behavior with particular emphasis on important demographics and geographic populations.

Measuring Minnesota's Traffic Safety Culture

Book Description
The goal of this study was to develop a survey methodology for Minnesota to measure state-level traffic-safety culture with three objectives: 1. Index traffic-safety culture as a performance indicator. 2. Identify culture-based strategies to achieve safety targets. 3.Assess receptivity of social environment for planned strategies. The survey was designed around a definition of safety culture as "the socially constructed abstract system of meaning, norms, beliefs, and values." (Myers et al., 2014; Reiman & Rollenhagen, 2014) Given that the majority of cases in which driver behavior is associated with fatal crashes can be presumed to be deliberate, these cognitions determine the intention to behave in either a safe or risky manner. This definition emphasizes that cognitions - shared by a group of people - influence the behavioral choices of the individual group members. The survey was designed to be implemented using a paper instrument mailed to households in Minnesota. The sample was based on a random sample of 10,000 Minnesota household addresses selected in November 2013 to cover all Area Transportation Partnership (ATP) boundary areas. The results indicate that many aspects of Minnesota are predictive of the level of engagement in both risky and protective behaviors. Often, the misperception that risk-taking is common and accepted increased the probability that individuals would decide to engage in risky behaviors themselves. The results are used to recommend strategies to increase concern about traffic safety overall and to reduce the incidence of risky behaviors in favor of safer choices.

Generational Perspective on Teen and Older Drivers on Traffic Safety in Rural and Urban Communities
Author: Michael Manser
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Automobile driving
Languages : en
Pages : 94
Book Description
The purpose of this project was to explore beliefs and attitudes about risky driving behavior and traffic safety interventions between urban and rural drivers as a function of age. This was accomplished by conducting focus groups and surveys in rural and urban areas with teens and seniors. Results indicated that traffic safety policy for teens should focus on distraction and sensory-motor functioning amongst seniors. In terms of traffic safety policy for rural areas, attention should be given to interventions promoting seatbelt compliance. Relative to traffic safety interventions, teens felt GDL helped them become better drivers but weren't convinced GDL had made them better/safer. Teen felt smart technology could have positive effects on safety, but an acceptable program based on this technology needs to balance factors such as cost, robustness, and limitations on driving. Seniors were receptive to mandatory testing but felt it must be flexible, objectively administered, and based on criteria other than age. Rural seniors were concerned about alternative mobility programs for those drivers that fail the proposed test. Relative to these alternative programs, seniors' acceptance was related to the perceived accessibility to a safe and affordable program that is sufficiently versatile to accommodate a range of transportation needs.
