<br /> <br />Why Is The Traffic-Related Death Rate So High Is Hawaii County? <br /> <br />r" <br />L <br /> <br />HUMAN FACTORS <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />IMPAIRED DRIVING <br />More than half of the Hawaii <br />County traffic deaths (58%) <br />were alcohol-related, between <br />2002 and 2008. This <br />proportion is higher than the <br />other counties and 12% higher <br />than the State average for the <br />same time. In 2006; the <br />national average was 40% and <br />Hawaii was the State with the <br />highest proportion of alcohol- <br />related traffic deaths (NHTSA, <br />2006). [Figure 4] <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The proportion of Hawaii County <br />fatal crashes that were <br />alcohol-related has actually <br />increased between 2003-2008. <br />[Figure 5] This may be partly <br />related to increased testing by <br />police for alcohol. [Figure 38] <br /> <br />Note: Recently released <br />National Highway Traffic Safety <br />Association (NHTSA) guidelines <br />for tracking impaired driving <br />recommend using "alcohol- <br />impaired" levels, a blood alcohol <br />content (BAC)> 0.08 rather <br />than "alcohol-related," which <br />reflects a BAC >0.01. Until that <br />data is available, alcohol-related <br />will be tracked. <br /> <br />4 · Assessing the Problem <br /> <br />Figure "I: <br /> <br />L <br />L <br /> <br />100% r..' <br /> <br />90% <br /> <br />Average Proportion of Alcohol-Related <br />Traffic Fatalities by County (2002- 2008) <br /> <br />.... --....-----'-..... -..-.......--.---.- '.-;-..-.. -.-----.------.--.-..--.---------.-...,.. .-.----1 <br /> <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />State Average - 47% I <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />i <br />I <br />I <br />i <br />I <br />I <br />----; <br /> <br />r- <br />1- <br />r <br />L <br />L <br />L <br />r <br />r <br />r- <br />!- <br />L <br />l <br />r- <br /> <br />L <br /> <br />,- <br />L <br /> <br />80% <br /> <br />70% <br /> <br /> <br />'"% J <br /> <br />50% <br /> <br /> <br />40% <br /> <br />30% <br /> <br />20% <br /> <br />10% <br /> <br />0% <br /> <br />Hawaii Countv <br /> <br />C&Cof Honolulu <br /> <br />Kauai Countv <br /> <br />Maui Countv <br /> <br />Chart: North Hawaii Outcomes Project <br /> <br />Source: Hawaii State Department of Transportation <br /> <br />Figure 5 <br /> <br />I <br />! <br />i <br />i 100% <br />I <br />I <br />I . <br />I 90% ! <br />I I <br />80% I <br /> <br />70% I <br /> <br />Proportion of Fatal Crashes That Were <br />Alcohol-Related (2001 - 2008) <br /> <br />.....Ha;-v,ail. <br />. f.
