New seat belt study reveals B-CS residents buckling up By Deborah A. Haring Reporter A study of 14 Texas cities found that 59.9 percent of Texans — and 64 percent of Bryan-College Station residents — still buckle up almost two years after Texas’ safety belt law was enacted. Although Texas’ usage averaged lower than most states without laws prior to its seatbelt law, its rate now is about 9 percent higher than other states with seatbelt laws, Womack says. The study, conducted by the Texas Transportation Institute in June, showed a relatively small de crease in safety belt usage compared to last year’s study, says Katie Wo mack, an assistant research sociolog ist for TTI. Following enactment of the safety belt law in 1986, seat belt usage in Texas was 66.1 percent. In 1985, 15.2 percent of Texans wore seat belts. “An increase is expected anytime you enact a seatbelt law,” Womack says, “but in other states, after this initial increase, usage begins to level off at some point.” Therefore, she says, Texas’ de crease of only 6 percent from the 1986 study is encouraging. A survey of 19 cities by the Na tional Highway Traffic Safety Ad ministration shows states with seat- belt laws averaged 50.6 percent usage while states without seatbelt laws averaged 27.1 percent seatbelt usage.

Csrrer Planning A Pljcrmcnt Cr**Hrr Cnginrrnng Studies on seatbelt usage are nec essary, Womack says, because man datory seatbelt usage in Texas is con troversial and accurate data is needed on seatbelt usage rates. The studies determine the extent to which safety belts are used and how variables such as age and gen der influence usage rates. Bryan-College Station, with 64 percent of area drivers wearing their seatbelts, has an above-average us age rate, Womack says. Austin has the highest usage rate at 74.4 per cent, and Brownsville, with 43.7 per cent, has the lowest. The one-week study was con ducted by trained observers in 14 metropolitan cities representing dif ferent geographic areas of the state. Observers recorded the seatbelt us age of 3,000 cars at 12 intersections in each city. Intersections of Jersey and Well born and Villa Maria and Pinfeather were a few of the areas studied in Bryan-College Station. Results will be published in a re port within a month, she says.
