• Abstract:
  The 2000 traffic fatality count was 1,382, down 0.3 percent from the 1999 figure of 1,386. ; Compared with 1999, injuries were down 2.2 percent and total crashes were up 2.2 percent. ; These figures translated into a death rate of 1.5 per 100 million miles of travel, the same as ; the 1999 death rate. Nationally, fatalities were up 4.1 percent. ; Exposure factors in 2000 showed increases in vehicle registrations, the number of drivers on ; Michigan roads, and travel mileage. They included motor vehicle registrations up 1.9 percent ; to 8.56 million, the number of licensed drivers is up 0.9 percent to 7.04 million, and vehicle ; travel mileage up 2.0 percent to 94.92 billion. ; Consumption of alcohol continues to be a major factor in Michigan crashes, particularly the ; more serious crashes. In 2000, 4.1 percent of all crashes, including property damage only, ; were reported to involve drinking, and 20.8 percent resulted in injury or death. However, ; 44.1 percent of alcohol-related crashes involved injury or death, and 32.9 percent of fatal ; crashes involved drinking. Over 62.2 percent of alcohol-related fatal crashes involved only ; one vehicle, whereas only 31.1 percent of all crashes involved one vehicle. ; Data on crashes in this book was obtained from 2000 Michigan Traffic Crash Report Forms ; (UD-10) submitted by local police departments, sheriff jurisdictions, and the Department of ; State Police. Other related information was obtained from the Departments of ; Transportation, State, and Community Health.
