Project Information

Category	Prevention Programs and Policies
Title	Ten Percenters Program
Start Date	January 2009
End Date	July 2010
Sponsor	I-95 Corridor Coalition
Description	TIRF has been awarded a contract from the I-95 Corridor Coalition to undertake a project that focuses on the small group of persistent traffic violators (i.e. the ten percent) who are responsible for a significant portion of the serious injury and fatal collisions on American highways. As part of the project, TIRF will work with members of the I-95 Corridor Coalition in order to develop a working definition of persistent offenders and also to determine what extent they contribute to traffic-related deaths and injuries along the I-95 Corridor. In addition, TIRF will also survey several U.S. states to determine what programs and policies are currently in place to deal with these offenders. The major goal of this project is to develop a best practices document that will outline several methods for state DOTs, criminal justice agencies, and other safety organizations to effectively deal with, target, and reduce the number of persistent traffic offenders. The best practices document will be released in 2010.
