Abstract: This report contains a review of the comprehensive program carried out through a grant from the Governor's Highway Safety Program and in the course of the report, sections are presented on public information and educational activities. It also covers support activities in which HSRC gave technical support to organizations such as the North Carolina Child Passenger Safety Association. In addition, there is a review of a series of ten regional workshops conducted during the summer of 1985 attended by about 500 law enforcement officers. The main focus of the child passenger safety program is also covered with a review of the public service activities of administrative and technical support to the 131 rental programs across North Carolina. Lastly, material is presented on the on-going evaluation of the effectiveness of the child safety seats and discussion of the changes that have been brought about through compliance with the law.
