THE FIFTH VASAP ANNUAL REPORT TO THE GOVERNOR AND THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, CALENDAR YEAR 1979

This report lists the major accomplishments of the Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program (VASAP) and describes the Program's "systems approach" to deal with the drinking driver population. The approach incorporates five countermeasures to attack the problem: enforcement, judicial, public information and education, education/treatment, and evaluation. Each countermeasure addresses the problem of driving under the influence (DUI), and attempts to deter new offenders or reeducate those already arrested. 1979 activities in each of the five areas are listed. Data are provided on DUI arrests and VASAP referrals, the administrative structure of VASAP and its fiscal aspects. 1980 VASAP objectives are also listed.
