SAFETY AWARENESS

Drugs & Alcohol

In 2009, 41.6 percent of all Montana traffic facilities were alcohol-related. Montana's alcohol-related fatality rate—the number of alcohol-related traffic fatalities per hundred million vehicle-miles traveled (VMT)—was 0.84. Despite these statistics, DUI convictions placed upon Montana's drivers have increased significantly over the preceding four years.

Current programs to address impaired driving encompasses numerous education, enforcement, engineering, and treatment programs at the state and local levels, recognizing the severity of the problem.
