Abstract:

This study identifies socio-eonomic variables which are strongly associated with highway fatalities. Further analysis of the relationship between these variables and fatalities reveals that two of the variables, retail sales and personal income, influence fatalities most strongly, meet tests of 'statistical causation,' and influence fatalites by causing changes in the amount of driving. In spite of the seemingly anomalous fact that fatalities decreased by 10% in 1982, while VMT or its proxies, personal income or retail sales, predict fatalitiy declines of 6 to 8.5 %5 in 1982. The study analyzes the model for VMT to better understand the complex relationship between VMT and fatalities.
