Initial chapter of a final report for the Department of Transportation entitled "Guidelines for Developing and Implementing Community Programs to Assist and Re-Educate Drinking Drivers," performed at the Public Systems Research Institute of the University of Southern California, 1972. To meet the challenge of drinking drivers, the author demonstrates how planning, management, and evaluation are inseparable in conceiving, designing, producing, and implementing community action programs such as ASAP (DOT's Alcohol Safety Action Program). Special emphasis is given to problems encountered and lessons learned in the Santa Monica Prototype Program.
