HALT Impaired Driving Alliance
The Congressional mandate for driver impairment prevention technology in all new cars places an unprecedented public health victory within reach, but the outcome remains vulnerable to special interests until the required Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) is completed by the US Department of Transportation (USDOT). The HALT Act requires NHTSA to complete a rulemaking by November 2024 to set a standard for all new cars to come equipped with passive advanced impaired driving prevention technology. Automakers have two to three years to comply once the standard is set. MADD is helping to make cars safer for everyone.
To take in-vehicle impairment detection technology across the finish line, we must invest in our work today. Lasting progress requires us to mobilize collective action with government and form new linkages with the private sector and local stakeholders. Your financial investment will allow us to:
Launch a broad-scale awareness campaign to garner public acceptance of the technology as well as create a sense of urgency to complete the rulemaking. Engage traffic safety and technology experts to aid in the rulemaking process, navigate committees, and strengthen partnerships with bipartisan allies on Capitol Hill. Provide continued coalition-building which includes advocacy coordination and training. Collect and use data to inform, address, and implement countermeasures, evidence-based strategies, and best practices to achieve roadways with zero impaired drivers. Support the cohort of experts working to advise on the sufficiency of technology options for achieving the performance requirements of impairment detection systems.
