Proposed Project
Taxi Driver Survey on Motor Vehicle
Safety and Workplace Violence (or, Taxi
Driver Survey)—New—National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Under the Public Law 91–596
(Section 20[a][1]), the National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) is tasked with conducting
research relating to occupational safety
and health. There are two types of workrelated events that are the
overwhelming cause of injury and death
among taxicab drivers: Transportationrelated events (almost exclusively
highway-related) and workplace
violence.
In the United States, motor vehicle
crashes remain the leading cause of
occupational fatalities and continue to
be a leading cause of occupational
nonfatal injuries. In 1998–2002, workers
in the ‘‘Taxi Services’’ industry had the
highest rate of nonfatal motor vehiclerelated injuries treated in emergency
departments (86 per 10,000 FTEs).
Moreover, 134 of the 423 (32%)
fatalities 2003–2010 in the ‘‘Taxi and
limousine services’’ industry resulted
from a motor vehicle crash.

Workers, who operate light motor
vehicles as their primary job, including
taxi drivers, are an inadequately studied
population. There are few reports
describing the population of workers
driving light motor vehicles, their
driving patterns, or their driving
behaviors. The road safety component of
the proposed study would provide new
scientific knowledge of a well-defined
occupation whose primary job is to
operate a taxi cab at any time of day
under numerous road and traffic
conditions. Motor vehicle safety
findings from this survey will be
disseminated globally to municipal
transportation regulators through an
established network.
Workplace violence continues to
contribute substantially to the public
health burden of both nonfatal and fatal
injury outcomes. The proposed study
would have a workplace violence
section in the survey that would allow
the evaluation of the major types of
safety equipment on rates of workplace
violence incidents and events at the
individual level (taxicab drivers).
The proposed study goals are to: (1)
Describe the occurrence of motor
vehicle events among taxicab drivers,
(2) describe the risk factors of motor
vehicle events among taxicab drivers,
and (3) evaluate events of workplace
violence among taxicab drivers. In order
to accomplish the study goals, the
corresponding study objectives are: (a)
To enumerate the occurrence of motor
vehicle crashes among taxicab drivers,
(b) identify and describe the risk factors
and protective factors associated with
road safety among taxicab drivers, and
(c) compare workplace violence events
over a twelve-month period among
taxicab drivers by type of safety
equipment installed in taxicab.
Findings from the study will be used
to develop future prevention initiatives
for reducing work-related motor vehicle
crashes. These prevention initiatives,
such as reducing driver fatigue through
shift work limitations, may take the
form of municipal ordinances
E:\FR\FM\13MYN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 92 / Tuesday, May 13, 2014 / Notices
promulgated by the city regulators or
company-wide directives designed to
impact road safety by a city taxi fleet.
Another use of data collected for this
study would be to serve as a baseline
measure for a future evaluation of safety
initiatives implemented at the
municipal level. Finally, contextual data
on motor vehicle crashes is not
completely captured by current
surveillance methods. Such a survey
would provide insight into the
occurrence of crashes involving
taxicabs. Furthermore, data on driving
behaviors in the context of safety
climate and role overload can only be
obtained directly from taxicab drivers
and will provide the perspective needed
for designing effective safety
interventions.
CDC requests OMB approval for 2
years to collect survey data using the
Taxi Driver Survey. CDC anticipates the
survey data collection will be conducted
in Houston over several months in
Summer/Fall of 2014 and over several
months in FY 2015 for Los Angeles. The
study objectives will be addressed using
a single survey designed to capture
prevalence and frequency of adverse
motor vehicle events and injuries, road
safety data elements and workplace
violence data elements. Taxicab drivers
will be approached and invited to
participate in two cities, 550 in Houston
and 550 in Los Angeles, it is anticipated
50 taxicab drivers in each city will not
participate in the survey. Survey data
will be collected from taxicab drivers in
two cities, 500 in Houston and 500 in
Los Angeles once during a 30 minute in-
person interview, while taxicab drivers
are waiting in the airport lot to pick up
fares.
The survey questions on road safety
behaviors are from validated
questionnaires used by researchers in
Australia. The survey was administered
to nine taxicab drivers in Houston to
test for clarity and comprehensibility by
taxicab drivers. The survey took 30
minutes or less to complete.
The information collected will
describe road safety and workplace
violence experiences in the past 12
months. Collecting survey data on 500
respondents in each city results in an
estimated burden of 275 hours per city.
The total estimated burden is 550 hours.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.
