There were 136 passenger vehicle fatalities in national parks from 2006 to 2010. Among these, only 50.7 percent were wearing seat belts when fatally injured. In one effort to reduce the number of unrestrained motor vehicle fatalities in national parks, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the National Park Service (NPS) conducted a high-visibility enforcement (HVE) seat belt program to increase seat belt use on the Roanoke Corridor, a 24-mile stretch of the Blue Ridge Parkway (BRP) that sees frequent commuter traffic.
