The report presents the final results of a four-year project to evaluate the safety impact of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 121. The study focuses on the experience of 1974-1977 model year vehicles during the calendar years 1976-1978. National estimates of fatal and injury accident involvement rates (number of involvements per hundred million vehicle miles) are developed for pre- and post-standard vehicles in various exposure categories. The data collected included descriptive information on the company and vehicle, mileage, and type of use. The authors conclude that this study provides no evidence of a substantial safety benefit for post-standard vehicles. It is recommended that future evaluation programs be expanded to include limited pilot, or demonstration, programs and planning the national impact evaluation prior to implementation of the countermeasure.
