As one of 35 projects nationwide, a countermeasure program aimed at reducing alcohol related traffic crashes was implemented in Puerto Rico. The countermeasures included Enforcement, Judicial, Rehabilitation and Public Information and Education. The lack of necessary legislation delayed the implementation of most of the countermeasure activities, however, legislation was achieved that provided for rehabilitation of DWI offenders, lowered the legal BAC limit from .15% to .10% and established a breath testing program in Puerto Rico. A three-fold increase in DWI arrests and Special Pedestrian Patrols contributed to a reduction of 22% in heavily alcohol-related (BAC of .10% or more) traffic fatalities.
