Impairment is a contributing factor in far too many transportation accidents across all modes, with alcohol impairment a leading cause of highway crashes. We want to continue to see states adopt per se blood alcohol concentration limits of 0.05 percent or below, as well as broaden their use of other effective countermeasures, like ignition interlock devices and high-visibility enforcement. Impairment in transportation is not limited to alcohol; it also includes impairment by other drugs—both legal or illicit. We want a national drug testing standard for passenger vehicle drivers and stronger screening and toxicology testing in commercial transportation.
