Motorcycle helmet use is as <strong>of</strong> the Fall each year except in 1996 (January), 2002 (June), 2004 (June), and 2005 (June).b Beginning in 2003, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) no longer computes an overall light truck belt useestimate. Instead, belt use is computed separately for motorists in: (1) vans and sport utility vehicles, and (2) pickup trucks.Additionally, NHTSA no longer reports separate statistics for passengers and drivers, except at the overall level.c Includes pickup trucks, vans, minivans, and sport utility vehicles.dIn 1994, operators and riders were counted as helmeted if wearing any type <strong>of</strong> helmet. Since then, only those operators andriders wearing safety helmets that met U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong> (DOT) standards were counted. Those safety helmetsthat do not meet DOT standards were treated as if the operator/rider were not wearing a helmet.NOTEOccupants <strong>of</strong> commercial and emergency vehicles are excluded.SOURCESSafety belt use:1994-2002: U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Safety Belt and Helmet Use in2002 -- Overall Results , DOT HS 809 500 (Washington, DC: 2002), table 1, available at http://wwwnrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/809500.PDFas <strong>of</strong> June 24, 2009.2003: Ibid., Safety Belt Use in 2003 , Traffic Safety Facts , Research Note DOT HS 809 646 (Washington, DC: 2003), available athttp://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/people/injury/airbags/809646.pdf as <strong>of</strong> June 24, 2009.2004: Ibid., Safety Belt use in 2005 –Overall Results , Traffic Safety Facts, Research Note DOT HS 809 932 (Washington, DC:2005), available at http://www.westernite.org/Sections/sbr/articles/Seatbelt-usage.pdf as <strong>of</strong> June 24, 2009.2005-06: Ibid., Seat Belt Use in 2006 –Overall Results , Traffic Safety Facts, Research Note DOT HS 810 677 (Washington, DC:2006), available at http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/810677.PDF as <strong>of</strong> June 24, 2009.2007: Ibid., Seat Belt Use in 2008 –Overall Results , Traffic Safety Facts, Research Note DOT HS 811 036 (Washington, DC:2008), available at http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/811036.PDF as <strong>of</strong> June 24, 2009.2008: Ibid., Seat Belt Use in 2009 –Overall Results , Traffic Safety Facts, Research Note DOT HS 811 100 (Washington, DC:2009), available at http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/811100.PDF as <strong>of</strong> July 6, 2010.2009: Ibid., Seat Belt Use in 2010–Overall Results, Traffic Safety Facts, Research Note DOT HS 811 378 (Washington, DC: 2010),available at http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/811378.pdf as <strong>of</strong> Sept. 2010.2010-11: Ibid., Seat Belt Use in 2011–Overall Results, Traffic Safety Facts, Research Note DOT HS 811 544 (Washington, DC:2011), available at http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/811544.pdf as <strong>of</strong> Dec. 2011.DC: 2010), available at http://wwwnrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/811378.pdfas <strong>of</strong> December 2011.Motorcycle helmet use:1994-98: U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Research Note, Observed SafetyBelt Use in 1998 (Washington, DC: September 1999), table 3, available at http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/pdf/nrd-30/NCSA/RNotes/1999/98obbelt.html as <strong>of</strong> January 2003.2000, 2002: Ibid., Safety Belt and Helmet Use in 2002 -- Overall Results, DOT HS 809 500 (Washington, DC: 2002), table 6,available at http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/pdf/nrd-30/NCSA/Rpts/2002/809-500.pdf as <strong>of</strong> January 2003.2004: Ibid., Motorcycle Helmet Use in 2005 -- Overall Results, DOT HS 809 937 (Washington, DC: 2005), available at http://wwwnrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/pdf/nrd-30/NCSA/RNotes/2005/809-937/images/809937.pdfas <strong>of</strong> Oct. 16, 2006.2005-06: Ibid., Motorcycle Helmet Use in 2006 -- Overall Results, DOT HS 810 678 (Washington, DC: 2006), available athttp://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/pdf/nrd-30/NCSA/RNotes/2005/809-937/images/809937.pdf as <strong>of</strong> June 8, 2007.2007: Ibid., Motorcycle Helmet Use in 2008 –Overall Results, DOT HS 811 044 (Washington, DC: 2008), available at http://wwwnrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/811044.PDFas <strong>of</strong> June 24, 2009.2008: Ibid., Motorcycle Helmet Use in 2009 –Overall Results, DOT HS 811 254 (Washington, DC: 2008), available at wwwnrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/811254.PDFas <strong>of</strong> July 6, 2010.2009-10: Ibid., Motorcycle Helmet Use in 2010 –Overall Results, DOT HS 811 419 (Washington, DC: December 2010), available athttp://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/811419.pdf as <strong>of</strong> December 2011.
