Highway safety is everyones responsibility; each action made while driving has the potential to affect everyone in a community, from children to senior citizens. For this reason, NHTSA has sought the opinions of community members by holding a series of public forums designed to gather feedback on the agencys key programs. In August 2007, NHTSA held a public meeting to examine the benefits of the expanded use of ignition interlock devices as a means to further reduce deaths and injuries caused by impaired drivers. The meeting provided an opportunity for judicial personnel, treatment professionals, equipment manufacturers, and others to discuss issues related to the use of ignition interlocks by impaired driving offenders, including but not limited to (1) technological issues, (2) legal issues, (3) current barriers to the use of ignition interlocks, and (4) issues related to training and education. Since this meeting, NHTSA has entered into a multi-year agreement with the Automotive Coalition for Traffic Safety to develop alcohol detection technologies that are less intrusive and integrated into the vehicle.
