The report describes the continuing activities of the agency during 1989. The agency's program continues to focus on two basic belt law enforcement strategies -- blitz and integrated. A blitz strategy concentrates police resources on safety belt law enforcement for a short time, and then repeats the effort over extended periods. An integrated strategy combines belt law enforcement with other police traffic enforcement activities. The multi-year integrated enforcement research program is designed to address issues associated with this type of safety belt police activity. Preliminary results from the enforcement demonstration grants continue to show that those enforcement efforts which have active public information and education have increased belt use, while those efforts that have only enforcement or public information and education alone do not.
