Rid Roads of Impaired Drivers

Young drivers pose particular risks in traffic—especially when they are impaired by alcohol
or other drugs. Many different factors are linked to the problem of young impaired drivers:
access to alcohol and drugs, access to vehicles, cultural characteristics, and the geography of a
given area. In order to explore the risks posed by young impaired drivers and how these risks
might be ameliorated, the Alcohol, Other Drugs, and Transportation Committee of the
Transportation Research Board convened a workshop to discuss these issues as they relate to
traffic safety in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia. The workshop was held on
June 3–4, 2008, at the National Academies’ Jonsson Conference Center in Woods Hole,
Massachusetts. This report provides an overview of the information presented and the
discussions among the participants as well as the background papers prepared for the workshop.
