Abstract

In this fact sheet, the overview of 2015 data is presented as follows: * Overview * Trends: 2006 to 2015 * Economic cost for all traffic crashes * Traffic safety fact sheets * Behavior (• Alcohol-impaired driving • Occupant protection • Speeding) * Crash Location (• Rural/urban comparison of traffic fatalities) * People (• Bicyclists and other cyclists • Children • Older population • Pedestrians • Young drivers) * Vehicles (• Large trucks • Motorcycles • Passenger vehicles • School-transportation-related crashes). This fact sheet contains information on motor vehicle fatalities and fatal crashes, based on data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). FARS is a census of fatal crashes within the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico (although Puerto Rico is not included in U.S. totals). Crash and injury statistics are based on data from the National Automotive Sampling System (NASS) General Estimates System (GES). The NASS GES is a probabilitybased sample of police-reported crashes, from 60 locations across the country, from which estimates of national totals for injury and property-damage-only crashes are derived.
