National transportation safety board public forum on alcohol and drug safety education.

"Concerned about the pervasiveness of alcohol and other drug use in all modes of transportation, the National Transportation Safety Board has made numerous recommendations designed to reduce the incidence of alcohol and drug use by operators in our nation's transportation system. However, the Board recognizes that a long-term strategy to reduce transportation accidents must include prevention and education programs to complement current efforts to remove alcohol or other drug-impaired operators from our nation's transportation system. On March 11 and 12, 1985, the National Transportation Safety Board conducted a Public Forum on Alcohol and Drug Safety Education. The purpose of the Forum was to examine school and community programs designed to prevent alcohol and other drug abuse, discuss the major issues surrounding alcohol/drug abuse prevention, and develop recommendations to governmental and private agencies to improve alcohol/drug abuse prevention programs."--From technical report documentation page.
