REPORT BY THE                                   RELEASED


Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES


Status Of The Department Of

Transportation's Safety Belt Program




In developing a program to encourage the use of
safety belts, the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, Department of Transportation, relied
on the results of past foreign and domestic safety belt
use campaigns and other research. These past cam-
paigns were unlike the Safety Administration's mul-
tifaceted program and offer limited insight into
whether the Safety Administration's program will be
successful. However, other research suggests that
the program, which is designed to be long term, can
increase safety belt use.

The program consists of disseminating public infor-
mation, conducting educational programs, awarding
financial and other incentives for safety belt use, and
encouraging public and private safety belt use poli-
cies. At the time of GAO's review the program was not
fully operational and the SafetyAdministration needed
to give further attention to certain issues relating to its
implementation.
