NOTES: Air injuries include all injuries classified as serious. U.S. air
carriers includes all carriers who operate
under 14 CFR 121, all scheduled and nonscheduled service. Since Mar. 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. Commuter carriers include
all scheduled service operating under 14 CFR 135. Since Mar. 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. On-demand
air taxi includes all nonscheduled service
operating under 14 CFR 135. General aviation includes all operations other than those operating under 14
CFR 121 and 14 CFR 135.
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 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.
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.
Other highway
includes occupants of other unknown vehicle types and other nonmotorists.
Railroad includes Amtrak. Figures
include those injuries resulting from train accidents, train incidents, and
nontrain incidents. Injury figures also include occupational illness.
Injuries
occurring at highway-rail crossings, listed under railroad, result from
freight and passenger rail operations including commuter rail. Highway-rail
grade crossing injuries, except train occupants, are counted under highway.
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 Administration 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.
Transit
includes motor bus, commuter rail, heavy rail, light rail, demand response,
van pool, and automated gateway. Transit injuries include those resulting
from all reportable incidents, not just from accidents, of Directly Operated
(DO) modes only. The drop in the number of injuries in 2002 and subsequently
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.
Injuries occurring at highway-rail crossings,
listed under transit, result 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); 2005 (80); 2006 (119).
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.
Vessel-related and Not related to vessel
casualties data for 1995-1997 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 and later 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.
