KEY: N = data do not exist; P = preliminary; R =
revised; U = data are not available.
a Other than the persons
aboard the aircraft who were killed, fatalities resulting from the September
11 terrorist acts are excluded.
b Injuries classified as serious. See
definitions of injuries in the glossary.
c All scheduled and nonscheduled service operating under 14
CFR 121. Since March 20, 1997, 14 CFR 121 includes only aircraft with 10 or
more seats formerly operated under 14 CFR 135. This change makes it difficult
to compare pre-1997 data for 14 CFR 121 and 14 CFR 135 with more recent years' data.
d All scheduled service operating under 14 CFR 135 (commuter
air carriers). Before March 20, 1997, 14 CFR 135 applied to aircraft with 30
or fewer seats. Since March 20, 1997, 14 CFR 135 includes only aircraft with
fewer than 10 seats. This change makes it difficult to compare pre-1997 data
for 14 CFR 121 and 14 CFR 135 with
more recent years' data.
e Nonscheduled service operating under 14 CFR 135 (on-demand
air taxis).
f All operations other than those operating
under 14 CFR 121 and 14 CFR 135.
g Large trucks are defined as trucks over
10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating, including single-unit trucks and
truck tractors. Light trucks are defined as trucks of 10,000 pounds gross
vehicle weight rating or less, including pickups, vans, truck-based station
wagons, and utility vehicles.
h Includes occupants of other unknown vehicle
types and other nonmotorists.
i Includes Amtrak.
Figures include those injuries resulting from train accidents, train
incidents, and nontrain incidents. Injury figures also include occupational
illness. Railroad injuries data for 1970 and before are not comparable with
post-1970 data due to change in reporting system. Highway-rail grade crossing injuries are
counted under highway, except train occupants.
j Includes motor bus, commuter rail, heavy rail, light rail,
demand response, van pool, and automated guideway. Transit injuries include
those resulting from all reportable incidents, not just from accidents.
Directly Operated (DO) modes only. The drop in the number of injuries in 2002
is due largely to a change in definitions by the Federal Transit
Administration. Only injuries
requiring immediate medical treatment away from the scene now qualify as
reportable. Previously, any injury was
reportable.
k Vessel-related injuries include those involving damage to
vessels, such as collisions or groundings.
Injuries not related to vessel casualties include those from falls
overboard or from accidents involving onboard equipment.
l 1992-2001 data come from the Marine Safety
Management Information System and 2002 data come from the Marine Information
for Safety and Law Enforcement System.
Data for prior years come from other sources and may not be directly
comparable.
NOTES
The motor vehicle injury data in this table come from the U.S.
Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration's General Estimates System (GES). The data from 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 did not
result in property damage.
Numbers may not add to total because some injuries are counted
in more than one mode. To avoid double
counting, the following adjustments have been made in the total injured row:
- most (not all) highway-rail grade crossing injuries have not
been added because most (not all) such injuries involve motor vehicles and
are already included in highway injuries;
- for transit, all commuter rail injuries and motor-bus, trolley-bus,
demand-responsive, and van-pool injuries arising from accidents have been
subtracted because they are counted as railroad, highway, or highway-rail
grade crossing injuries.
The
reader cannot reproduce the total injuries count in this table by simply
leaving out the number of highway-rail grade crossing injuries in the sum and
subtracting the above transit submodes, because in so doing, grade-crossing
injuries not involving motor vehicles would be left out (see table 2-35 on
rail). An example of such an injury is a bicyclist injured by a train at a
grade crossing.
