摘要：	ASA participated in a Capitol Hill briefing for a study of data from 1975 to 2018 found there were 5.5 percent fewer roadway fatalities in states with I/M programs.The Automotive Service Association (ASA) participated in a vehicle safety inspection briefing on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. The briefing was hosted by CITA North America Regional Advisory Group and included a presentation of a new vehicle safety inspection study from Carnegie Mellon University.CITA is an international organization dedicated to improving road safety and protecting the environment through vehicle safety inspection and emissions testing programs. ASA is a board member of the CITA North America Regional Advisory Group.At the event, Dr. Scott Matthews presented the findings of the 2020 Carnegie Mellon University study on vehicle safety inspection programs in the United States. This study, which is titled "Safety I/M programs mitigate motorway fatalities: A study of the U.S. FARS dataset, 1975-2018," was funded in part by CITA.The study evaluated the 15 U.S. states that currently require periodic safety inspections on passenger vehicles and found there are 5.5 percent fewer roadway fatalities in states that have I/M programs on average. This translates to approximately 1,400 mitigated fatalities in 2018 due to vehicle inspection programs. John Firm, ASA mechanical ops committee director, spoke virtually to the Capitol Hill attendees on the value of vehicle inspection and maintenance programs. Firm Automotive is located in Fort Worth, Tex, one of the 15 states that requires a periodic safety inspection for vehicles. In his remarks, Firm reiterated the importance of safety inspection programs, stating that something as simple as checking the tires or the brakes of a vehicle could keep a driver safe on the road.
