KEY: E = estimated; N = data do not exist; R = revised.
a U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) rounds its injury and crash data to the nearest
thousand before publishing them, but it calculates injury rates using the unrounded
data. NHTSA also calculates fatality and injury rates using vehicle-miles expressed
to a higher level of precision than shown here. USDOT, Bureau of Transportation
Statistics rounded vehicle-miles to the nearest 100 million in this table.
NOTE
The injury and crash data in this table are from NHTSA's General Estimates
System (GES). The data from the GES, which began operation in 1988, are obtained
from a nationally representative probability sample selected from all police-reported
crashes. The GES sample includes only crashes where a police accident report
was completed and the crash resulted in property damage, injury, or death. The
resulting figures do not take into account crashes that were not reported to
the police or that did not result in property damage. The 1993 National Transportation
Statistics (NTS) Compendium and earlier editions illustrated crashes
and injury figures estimated by the National Safety Council, which used a different
set of methods to arrive at its figures. Thus, the injury and crash figures
in this edition of NTS may not be comparable with those found in the Compendium
and earlier editions.
