The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA), required the Department of Transportation and NHTSA to study the benefits of using safety belts and motorcycle helmets. In general -- The Secretary shall conduct a study of studies to determine the benefits of safety belt use and motorcycle helmet use for individuals involved in motor vehicle crashes and motorcycle crashes, collecting and analyzing data from regional trauma systems regarding differences in the following: The severity of injuries; acute, rehabilitative and long-term medical costs, including the sources of reimbursement and the extent to which these sources cover actual costs; government, employer, and other costs; and mortality and morbidity outcomes. The study shall cover a representative period after January 1, 1990. This report contains the results of that study.
