摘要：	As FY 2011 comes to a close, we can look back on some significant accomplishments and look forward to addressing the challenges of FY 2012. The overwhelming good news is that Oklahoma is on track for continued reductions in traffic fatalities. After a peak of 803 fatalities in 2005, we have seen steady reductions each year to the current 668 (early state and 2010 estimates). Alcohol impaired occupant fatalities have decreased from 242 in 2008 to 235 in 2009 (FARS). We are continuing to address our seat belt use rate with an aggressive, multifaceted program. Under the direction of a full time Law Enforcement Occupant Protection Specialist, law enforcement agencies, traffic safety advocates, educational professionals and local media outlets, the OHSO continues to implement the provisions of a statewide occupant protection plan. Concentrating primarily on central Oklahoma, we are forging new coalitions; creating new partnerships and developing new focused law enforcement initiatives. Our efforts are beginning to pay off. Unrestrained occupant fatalities decreased from 338 in 2008 to 306 in 2009, with early 2010 estimates indicating a continuation of that downward trend. Although our most recent survey shows the current use rate remained unchanged at 89.5%, the rate for the metropolitan Oklahoma City area, the focus of most of our recent efforts, has increased. Central to our effort is the Clicks on Route 66. program. The program is designed to increase awareness along that fabled corridor and to leverage law enforcement efforts through joint checkpoints and saturation patrols. The program has proven popular and is being expanded to include the states of Illinois, Missouri, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. It is our belief that with this traditional combination of education, awareness and enforcement, we will continue to a positive impact on Oklahoma's seat belt use rate.
