CDC requests Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to collect survey data using the Taxi Driver Survey, from taxicab drivers in two cities once during a 30 minute time period, and is seeking clearance for an 18-month period. Because each taxicab driver will be waiting for taxicab inspection to be completed, the taxicab driver will be available. Responding to the survey is not expected to entail significant burden to respondents. The study objectives will be addressed using a survey designed to capture prevalence and frequency of adverse motor vehicle events and injuries, road safety data elements and workplace violence data elements. Multivariable regression models will provide measures of association.
Data will be collected on 500 taxi drivers in each of two cities during the annual vehicle inspection for each city. The estimated burden per response is 30 minutes. The survey questions are from validated questionnaires and were pilot tested. Since all taxicab drivers are required to have a working knowledge of English and literacy is of concern, the survey will be administered in English using a 6th grade comprehension level.
CDC anticipates that routine information collection will be conducted in City 1 during the month of April 2014 and during one month in FY 2015 for City 2. The information collected will describe road safety and workplace violence experiences in the past 24 months.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
