2020 Traffic Safety Culture Index
As in previous years, this report details the data collection methodology and summarizes major national-level results of the 13th annual Traffic Safety Culture Index (TSCI). In addition, this report includes analyses of traffic safety culture before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, and responses regarding increased or decreased driving due to the pandemic. This report presents results of the 2020 TSCI in three sub-sections. The first sub-section includes the “overall” results regarding perceived danger, perceived risk of apprehension, social disapproval, self-reporting of behaviors, and support of safety laws related to various risky driving behaviors. The second sub-section highlights comparing drivers’ attitudes/perceptions with their behaviors. The last sub-section examines travel patterns and traffic safety culture before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results are described in the context of three focus areas: (1) distracted driving, primarily with cell phone use, including talking, texting, and emailing; (2) aggressive driving, including speeding and running red lights; and (3) drowsy and impaired driving (by alcohol or other drugs).
