Abstract:In 2001, the death rate on Nebraska roadways was 1.6 persons killed per 100 million vehicle miles traveled. The death rate in Nebraska, from 1961 to 2001 is represented in Figure 1 (Page 2). Even though the death rate fluctuates from year to year, there has been a general downward trend. Much of this reduction can be attributed to improvements in vehicle design, roadway engineering, emergency medical services, specific safety programs, enforcement and improved driver awareness. Figure 2 (Page 2) depicts the number of fatal crashes per year for the last ten years. There were 215 fatal crashes in 2001, twenty-seven less than were recorded in 2000. Fatal accidents make up only a small portion of the total crashes in Nebraska. Property damage only (PDO) crashes make up the majority. Figure 3 shows the percentage distribution of all crash types. In 2001, there were 215 fatal crashes, 17,580 injury crashes and 30,099 property damage only crashes. Fatal crashes made up .5% of all accidents, and injury and PDO crashes made up 36.7% and 62.8%, respectively.
