This comprehensive report provides final findings from a technology transfer project aimed to describe the state-of-the-art addressing prevention efforts for distraction, particularly with regard to infrastructure solutions. The specific tasks for this project were as follows: Task 1) Conduct an extensive literature review related to infrastructure solutions for distracted driving; Task 2) Survey state Departments of Transportation regarding their existing and planned infrastructure for alleviating distracted driving; Task 3) Conduct a workshop enabling participants to test various distracted driving infrastructure solutions in an interactive driving simulator; Task 4) Survey workshop participants regarding the pros and cons of various distracted driving infrastructure approaches; Task 5) Conduct a webinar to highlight results of this project; and Task 6) Prepare a final report for project. Overall, findings suggested various approaches can be used to help prevent distracted driving crashes and fatalities, including use of the following: Rumble strips/rumble stripes, Signage, Text stops, Driver training programs, Educational campaigns (e.g., websites, school programs, etc.), and Legislation/law enforcement. Rumble strips are the most common infrastructure implemented by various state Department of Transportations to minimize distracted driving crashes and fatalities. Implications and future directions are discussed.
