A critical component of Phase I work for the Driver's License Suspensions, Impacts and Fairness study was the development, distribution and synthesis of a survey and corresponding follow-up work directed to motor vehicle agencies in 49 states and the District of Colombia. The purpose of performing the survey activities was to acquire specific information from the states with regard to their drivers license suspension/revocation programs, with a particular focus on identified suspension/revocation mitigation initiatives. State motor vehicle agency contact information was provided to the research team through Lori Cohen, Program Director--Driver Services, of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA). The individuals included on the AAMVA contact list were primarily state motor vehicle agency directors, commissioners, administrators and mangers. The survey of the state motor vehicle agencies was designed as a two-phase process. The first phase involved emailing a brief survey to each of the 50 identified contacts, requesting specific information about their general suspension/mitigation programs. 41 responses were received in total, yielding an 82 percent response rate. The second phase of the survey involved following-up with the 37 respondents who indicated that their states offered some type of mitigation/remedial program to address the unintended consequences of drivers license suspensions/revocations. 35 of the 37 entities contacted responded, yielding an approximate response rate of 95 percent. With regard to Phase II of the survey, respondents were given the option of receiving the follow-up questions via email if a phone survey was deemed inconvenient. In total, 26 follow-up phone surveys and 9 follow-up email surveys were conducted. / NOTE: Final rept. / Supplementary Notes: See also PB2008-106875.
