Impaired Driving in Rural Jurisdictions: Problems and Solutions

This report is based on Proceedings of the 9th Annual Working Group on DWI System Improvements held September 18-21st, 2012, in St Louis, Missouri. It begins with an overview of demographics, road user characteristics, road fatalities and impaired drivers in rural areas. Next the challenges of implementing laws and programs addressing impaired driving are discussed. Examples from rural jurisdictions around the US are included covering topics such as sobriety checkpoints, regional DWI courts, alcohol interlock programs, supervision programs, and interventions aimed at Native American communities. Finally lessons learned and future research recommendations are included.
