Abstract:This report contains data from the Department’s crash database, compiled from traffic crash reports completed by state and local law enforcement agencies. Despite increases in the motoring environment, the mileage death rate remained at 2.1 per 100 million vehicle miles of travel for the fourth consecutive year; however, alcohol-related fatalities increased by 4.6 percent. Areas that either improved or experienced no measurable increase during 2000 include: 64.5 percent of drivers using safety belts avoided injury; 76 percent of children under 4 years of age avoided injuries by being properly restrained and 73 percent of children 4-5 years of age avoided injury by being properly restrained; Florida had the lowest number of bicyclists killed (83) since 1987. The tables in this report are used to assist traffic safety experts, researchers, statisticians, law enforcement, and the public in understanding problems and identifying solutions that will ultimately aid in reducing deaths and injuries from motor vehicle crashes.
