The information in this packet is provided to help explain the project's background, objectives and field test design for jurisdictions interested in participating in the project. We are looking for areas with an interest in decreasing the amount of drunk driving in their jurisdiction, and who have an interest in participating in a field test of general deterrence programs that can be implemented within existing resources.129
