NCSA
National Center for Statistics and Analysis

NCSA is responsible for providing a wide range of analytical and statistical support to NHTSA and the traffic safety community, through data collection, analysis, and crash investigation activities.

Fatality information is derived from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). FARS includes motor vehicle traffic crashes that result in fatality to a vehicle occupant or nonmotorist, from injuries resulting from a traffic crash, that occur within 30 days of the crash. The final FARS file is normally completed around Memorial Day, at which time the final quality control procedures are implemented. When these procedures are completed, NCSA can begin to create our fact sheets and release the new data. 1999 data are available, see below.
