Feedback from Motorists' Survey Will Help PennDOT to Prioritize Efforts

Pennsylvania motorists can help the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation to prioritize its highway-safety efforts by sharing their opinions on traffic-safety enforcement and driving behaviors via an online survey available through July 30 at www.DriveSafePA.org.

The survey consists of 19 questions focused on highway safety, including seat belts, impaired driving, speeding, motorcycles and distracted driving. All answers to the questions are anonymous. In addition, there are general demographic questions, such as gender, age and ZIP code.

More than 3,800 people responded to last year's survey. Among the notable results, the survey showed that nearly 80 percent of Pennsylvania motorists reported that they did not drive within two hours after drinking alcohol (within the past 60 days). Ninety-one percent of drivers also indicated that they used a seat belt all or most of the time.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration requires states to conduct this survey annually.
