Motor Vehicle Injury Prevention
Cost Calculator for States
Motor Vehicle Prioritizing Interventions and Cost Calculator for States (MV PICCS) is a free interactive web tool that estimates the costs of implementing up to 14 motor vehicle evidence-based strategies, while taking into account a state's specific budget. The strategies included in MV PICCS are:
- Automated Red-Light Cameras
- Automated Speed Cameras
- Alcohol Interlocks
- Sobriety Checkpoints
- Saturation Patrols
- Bicycle Helmet Laws for Children
- Universal Motorcycle Helmet Laws
- Primary Enforcement of Seat Belt Laws
- Seat Belt Enforcement Campaign
- License Plate Impoundment
- Limits on Diversion and Plea Agreements
- Vehicle Impoundment
- In-Person License Renewal
- Increased Seat Belt Fines
