ROADS SAFE Promoted

A number of leading safety, insurance, auto, alcohol industry groups and alcohol beverage companies are urging passage of Congressional legislation that would provide $60 million over five years to fund federal research to develop effective alcohol interlock systems. These are systems designed to detect breath alcohol and prevent a vehicle from starting or operating.

The proposed legislation is titled "Research of Alcohol Detection Systems for Stopping Alcohol-related Fatalities Everywhere" (ROADS SAFE).
