Abstract:This edition of Traffic Tech briefly describes a full report that provides insight into how children are being restrained when traveling in ride-sharing vehicles such as Uber and Lyft. From July to August 2022 researchers observed children 12 and younger transported in ride-share vehicles in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions. About half of children observed were unrestrained and the remainder were either using the vehicle seat belts or some type of child restraint system. The observed CRS use rate was 8.1% with 41% of restrained children using seat belts. Less than half of the restrained children were using the proper restraints for their height and weight.
