FLORIDA ALCOHOL-RELATED MOTORCYCLE CRASH STUDY: EVALUATION OF ALCOHOL-RELATED MOTORCYCLE CRASHES & RECOMMENDED COUNTERMEASURES: 1993-1997
The first research objective was to obtain a better understanding of the characteristics of alcohol-related motorcycle crashes in Florida. This objective was accomplished by collecting data over a five-year period (1993-1997) on alcohol-related motorcycle crashes and analyzing the data using statistical software. The second research objective was to identify potential countermeasures that may be effective at reducing alcohol-related motorcycle crashes in Florida. This objective was accomplished by conducting a national survey of motorcycle safety programs and assimilating information on countermeasures targeting the motorcycle-alcohol problem. The report is organized in five chapters. Chapter 1 provides an introduction. Chapter 2 details the research methodology used to analyze alcohol-related motorcycle crashes and survey motorcycle safety programs nationally. Chapter 3 summarizes the data analysis and presents the results in graphical and tabular format. Chapter 4 discusses the results from the national survey. The final chapter includes the research conclusions and recommendations.
