Reported here are the results of a direct observation survey of safety belt use conducted in June 2000 to determine the effect of implementation of standard enforcement legislation has had on Michigan's safety belt use rate. In this study, 13,220 occupants traveling in four vehicle types (passenger cars, sport-utility vehicles, van/minivans, and pickup trucks) were surveyed from June 15 to June 30, 2000. Belt use was estimated for all commercial/noncommercial vehicle types combined (the statewide safety belt use rate) and separately for each vehicle type. Within and across each vehicle type, belt use by age, sex, road type, day of week, time of day, and seating position were calculated. Statewide belt use was 83.1 percent.
