KEY: N = Data are nonexistent. U = Data are unavailable.
NOTES
All Countries
Injuries, total: For the United States, the number for total injuries
is less than the sum of the injuries listed for individual modes because some
injuries are counted in more than one mode. That is, the United States has corrected
for double counting in calculating total injuries (See Appendix B). For Canada,
the total shown is the sum of the modal totals and has not been corrected for
double counting. (Note also, that Canadian injury data for transit and recreational
boats do not exist. These data, if available, would increase the overall injury
totals for Canada.) For Mexico, the total is the sum of air, road and rail only,
and therefore the total number of transportation injuries is underrepresented.
Air: United States and Canada include injuries from both passenger
and all-cargo flights. Mexico includes injuries from passenger flights only.
For Canada and the United States, the air carrier data are for their own national
flag carriers, operating both domestic and international flights.
Road: Data refer to occupants of the road motor vehicles listed.
Other comprises pedalcyclists, other nonmotorists (except pedestrians, who are
separately listed) and occupants of other or unknown motor vehicles.
Road: For Canada and the United States, there is extensive follow-up on road injuries. For Mexico, only serious injuries apparent at the site of the crash are counted.
Water transport: U.S. and Canadian data are not comparable in several respects. See Appendix B, All Countries.
Mexico
Road: Includes 36,160, 33,860 and 33,325 injuries that occurred
on the federal highway network in 1990, 1995 and 1996, respectively. These injuries
cannot be allocated to a specific vehicle category but are included in the road
total.
United States
Injuries, total: Total Injuries are rounded to the nearest 1,000.
Road injuries: Data on road injuries are derived from a sample. Injuries in the other modes are a total count.
