Drinking and driving remains common, even when perceived as unacceptable. However, a significant majority of surveyed patrons expressed willingness to use free alternative transportation services to prevent drunk driving.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Transportation Safety
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Drinking and driving is a prevalent issue despite societal disapproval.
  • Many individuals overestimate their ability to drive safely when intoxicated.
  • Current deterrence methods like increased patrols show limited effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the community impact of free alternative transportation for impaired drivers.
  • To understand patron attitudes towards drunk driving and alternative transport options.
  • To gauge the potential utilization of a free ride service in Sacramento, California.

Main Methods:

  • Surveyed 1,522 bar and nightclub patrons in Sacramento and San Jose, California.
  • Collected baseline data on drinking and driving behaviors and attitudes.

    Conclusions:

    • Free alternative transportation shows high potential for reducing drunk driving incidents.
    • Addressing impaired driving requires exploring and implementing accessible transport solutions.
    • Community acceptance and willingness to use services are key factors for success.
