KEY: N = data do not exist; R = revised; U = data
are not available.
a Injuries
classified as serious. See definitions of injuries in the glossary.
b 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.
c 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.
d Nonscheduled
service operating under 14 CFR 135 (on-demand air taxis).
e All
operations other than those operating under 14 CFR 121 and 14 CFR 135.
f 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.
g Includes occupants of other unknown vehicle types and other nonmotorists.
h Includes
Amtrak. Figures include those injuries resulting from train accidents, train
incidents, and nontrain incidents. Injury figures also include occupational
illness. Railroad injury data for 1970 and before are not comparable with
post-1970 data due to a change in the reporting system.
i Injuries
occurring at highway-rail crossings resulting from freight and passenger rail
operations including commuter rail. Highway-rail grade crossing injuries,
except train occupants, are also counted under highway.
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 Injuries
occurring at highway-rail crossings resulting from operations of public
transit rail modes including commuter rail. Data for injuries at light rail
crossings are: 1995 (179); 1996 (171); 1997 (92); 1998 (42); 1999 (148); 2000
(111); 2001 (54); 2002 (76); 2003 (68); 2004 (76).
l 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.
m 1992-97 data come from the Marine Safety Management Information System.
Between 1998 and 2001 the U.S. Coast Guard phased in a new computer system to
track safety data, the Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement
System. During that period data come from combining entries in the Marine
Safety Management Information System with entries in the Marine Information
for Safety and Law Enforcement System. Data for 2002, 2003, and 2004 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.
n Other
than the persons aboard the aircraft who were killed, fatalities resulting
from the September 11 terrorist acts are excluded.
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.
The
Federal Railroad Administration defines a grade crossing as a location where
a public highway, road, street, or private roadway, including associated
sidewalks and pathways, crosses one or more railroad tracks at grade. The
Federal Transit Adminstration defines two types of grade crossings: (1) At
grade, mixed, and cross traffic crossings, meaning railway right-of-way over
which other traffic moving in the same direction or other cross directions
may pass. This includes city street right-of-way; (2) At grade with cross
traffic crossings, meaning railway right-of-way over which no other traffic
may pass, except to cross at grade-level crossings. This can include median
strip rights-of-way with grade level crossings at intersecting streets.
