Grant Description: This proposed effort will enlist the involvement of law enforcement organizations in two to three communities that are committed to improving the safety of booster seat-aged/-sized child passengers through targeted enforcement activities for this special population, more than 300 of whom died in 2006.NHTSA will help ensure that the enforcement strategies tested by law enforcement organizations accurately reflect real-world conditions, have little or no cost implications for local police agencies, do not require extensive training or re-training of law enforcement personnel, and can be readily adopted into existing enforcement programs.The recommended enforcement strategies and considerations from ongoing booster seat enforcement research, particularly the effort being conducted with TransAnalytics, Inc., will be incorporated in this effort. Those strategies and potentially others will be tested and refined by local law enforcement agencies in two to three communities. Those recommended approaches will subsequently be made available to law enforcement agencies nationwide to guide their efforts to better protect this at-risk population at the community level.
