Reported here are the results of a direct observation survey of safety belt use in Michigan's Upper Peninsula (UP), conducted in the fall of 2000. In this study, 3,814 occupants traveling in four vehicle types (passenger cars, sport-utility vehicles, vans/minivans, and pickup trucks) were surveyed during October 17 to October 29, 2000. Belt use was estimated for all commercial/noncommercial vehicle types combined and separately for each vehicle type. Belt use by stratum, seating position, sex, prevailing weather conditions, and age was also calculated. Overall belt use was 78.6 percent. Belt use was 83.7 percent for vans/minivans, 83.3 percent for passenger cars, 82.3 percent for sport-utility vehicles, and 66.4 percent for pickup trucks. Overall belt use was higher for females than for males, and higher for drivers than for passengers. Overall, belt use was similar for the 16-to-29 and 30-to-59 year old age groups, and was higher in the 60-and-up age group. Safety belt use rates did not significantly differ by stratum or weather conditions. These findings enable us to obtain a baseline safety belt use rate for Michigan's UP, with which to examine and measure safety belt use trends in the UP. This study also provides information for the creation of Public Information and Education programs specific to the unique characteristics of UP residents.
