Title: Impaired Driving in New York State: Study on How Frequently Motorists Drink and Drive

Summary: Over the past two decades, New York has made significant strides in reducing the incidence of impaired driving on its roadways. The number of alcohol-related fatal crashes has declined by 60%, dropping from 884 fatal crashes in 1981 to 355 in 2008. However, there is concern that further progress will be difficult to achieve since the alcohol-related fatal crash rate has been on an upward trend in recent years, increasing from 24% in 2004 to 31% in 2008. To address this concern, in spring 2008, New York’s Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee (GTSC) established the New York State Task Force on Impaired Driving. The Task Force has been charged with conducting a comprehensive examination of the scope and causes of the problem of impaired driving and developing recommendations for reducing crashes resulting from impaired driving. To support the work of the Task Force, the GTSC is funding the Institute for Traffic Safety Management and Research (ITSMR) to conduct a series of research studies on specific topics that have been identified by the Task Force. This document reports on the initial study conducted by ITSMR to establish an estimate of how often motorists drink and drive.
