2011 Statewide Seat Belt Survey

The primary objective of this study was to conduct a comprehensive statewide seat belt usage survey in order to determine the usage rate for the State of Colorado in 2011. The statewide survey was conducted in the same month (June) as preceding surveys with essentially the same field observers used in previous studies in order to leverage the training and experience and to maintain statistical confidence in the data-gathering task. The survey was conducted by the Institute of Transportation Management, College of Business, Colorado State University under the sponsorship of the Colorado Department of Transportation, Office of Transportation Safety. Observational data were analyzed by the Institute of Transportation Management with the assistance of the Franklin A. Graybill Statistical Laboratory of the College of Natural Sciences.
