Robert Chaffe has assisted on various NHTSA evaluations involving highly publicized media/enforcement programs used to improve safety belt usage and decrease drunk driving (i.e., Click It or Ticket and Over the Limit Under Arrest). He has directed and staffed NHTSA/BIA evaluations pertaining to belt use in Native American Territories across the United States. He has been in charge of training observers, scheduling, data collection/entry oversight and overall project management for Florida statewide observational surveys for the past 5+ years.

Both of these projects included surveys of awareness, observational data collection and roadside interviews/surveys of BAC.
