Community-Based Education and Public Awareness for All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) and Side-by-Side (SxS) Safety to Reduce Roadway Deaths and Injuries: Preventing Roadway Deaths and Injuries from Off-Road Vehicle Crashes

SAFER-SIM funding was used for educational and public awareness programs focusing on reducing crashes of off-road vehicles on roadways. The activities briefly described in this final report included a school-based safety program (Safety Tips for ATV Riders (STARs), professional and community outreach, and creation of resources for preventing ATV and SxS related deaths and injuries. Engineering and technology, including the use of a mobile ATV simulator, are an important part of the SAFER-SIM program.
