*Fatality Rate Formula:
Fatality rate =
[(Number of fatalities involving large trucks
and buses / Total VMT) x 100].

**Preliminary. ***Data not available. |
****Includes all
occupants and nonoccupants killed in all bus crashes.
Note: Individual subtotals may not add to totals due to the
potential for double counting
(e.g., fatalities or injuries in a truck-bus crash).
Sources: NHTSA, fatalities and injuries; FHWA, vehicle miles
traveled (VMT). |
