The MandatedNational RBS Program • Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971 • Foundation for: • Coast Guard to establish safety standards for boat construction • Provided Financial Assistance for State & National Nonprofit Organization Boating Safety Activities, including: • Law Enforcement • SAR • Education • Numbering and Titling of Vessels • ATON • Boating Access • Improved Accident Investigations and Reporting • Learn more at www.uscgboating.org

  6. National RBS ProgramMission & Performance Goal • Mission: To ensure the public has a safe, secure, and enjoyable recreational boating experience by implementing programs that minimize the loss of life, personal injury, and property damage, while cooperating with environmental and national security efforts. • Performance Goal: As a part of the Coast Guard’s Marine Safety Mission, the National RBS Program’s goal is a reduced number of casualties per year through 2017 and beyond. For FY 2013, the annual goal is 3,880 casualties or less (3,212 injuries & 668 deaths).

  7. 2012 Recreational BoatingMarket Estimates and Accidents • Market Estimates: • 74+ Million recreational boaters (all ages) • 12+ Million state registered boats • 9+ Million more unregistered boats (canoes, kayaks, etc.) • Reported CY 2012 Boating Accidents At A Glance • 4,515 reported boating accidents • 651 deaths • 3,000 injuries • $38 million in property damage

  8. National Recreational Boating Safety (RBS) Program RBS – A Partnership Program Key Partners: • Federal, State, Tribal and Local Agencies • Boat/Equipment Manufacturers & Retailers • Incredible volunteer organizations

  9. National RBS ProgramStrategic Plan - Objectives • Increase the number of persons who complete a boating safety course or test that conforms to the National Boating Education Standards as recognized by the USCG. • Deliver effective boating safety messages through various educational resources and media to reduce deaths and injuries of recreational boaters. • Increase the number of boaters who have completed advanced and/or on-water, skills-based boating education . • Increase adult life jacket wear rates nationwide. Targets: 1. Increase the observed adult life jacket wear rate in open motorboats by 3% from the previous year’s wear rate. 2. Increase the observed adult life jacket wear rate on non-motorized vessels by 3% from the previous year’s wear rate. • Reduce fatalities associated with Navigation Rules (NAVRULES) violations by 2% per year from the previous year. • Achieve a 5% overall decrease in the number of deaths by CY 2016 (using a five-year moving average) where the use of alcohol or other drugs by a boat’s operator and/or occupants was either a direct or indirect cause of the accident24. The five-year average for the 2005 to 2009 time period was 156.

  10. National RBS ProgramStrategic Plan - Objectives 7. Decrease the recreational boat manufacturer ratio of discrepancies per factory inspection annually by 5% and keep boats with insufficient flotation off the market. 8. Increase compliance levels for specific required safety equipment on recreational boats. 9. Using the baseline BARD data from 2009, work towards a goal of 100% by 2016, for boat accident report completeness, accuracy and timely submission pursuant to 33 CFR 173 and 174. 10. Gather and analyze data relevant to recreational boating accidents and exposure. 11. Improve the effectiveness of and increase access to the grant products of the national non-profit organizations.
