SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The purpose of this study is to assess the awareness of licensed 
drivers regarding Share the Road Safely messages. The study will assist 
FMCSA in developing future STRS campaign messages and identifying 
target audiences and distribution strategies. The data will be 
collected through a telephone survey. Results of the study will not be 
published, but used for internal research purposes by FMCSA to assess 
its outreach activities and identify opportunities to help raise the 
public's awareness of driving safely in, or around, large trucks and 
vehicles. A follow-up survey will be conducted two years after the 
initial data collection and compared against the results from the 
baseline assessment.
