Strategies

Enable law enforcement to immediately take the license of a driver who fails or refuses to take a chemical test for alcohol

Support acquisition of job-specific skills through education, certification programs, or on-the-job training, often with personal development resources and other supports

Set legal limits for drivers’ blood alcohol concentrations (BACs)

Implement checkpoints where law enforcement officers can stop drivers suspected of drinking and driving and assess their level of alcohol impairment

Provide outreach and support to assist those whose employers do not offer affordable coverage, who are self-employed, or who are unemployed

Strengthen policies that mandate ignition interlock installation in vehicles to prevent operation by a driver with a high blood alcohol concentration

Regulate mental health insurance to increase access to mental health services, including treatment for substance use disorders

Establish time-limited, subsidized, paid jobs to help individuals with barriers to employment transition to unsubsidized employment
