  • Abstract:
    This report is a continuation of the data series published from 1967 to 1981 under the title, "Fatal and Injury Accident Rates on Federal-Aid and Other Highway Systems". It is the tenth report prepared as required by Section 207 of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 (P.L. 97-424). The text of the report is primarily technical detail and background information which may assist those who analyze and interpret statistical data. The traffic accident statistics for 1991 show a decrease of about 3,000 fatalities from 1990. A disproportionate share of these fatalities occurred on Federal-aid Secondary and non-Federal-aid rural highways. The overall fatality rate per 100 million vehicle miles of travel was 1.91, which was lower than the record low of 2.07 set in 1990. From a rate of more than 18 fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles in the mid-1920s, the average rate has gone downward more than 3% per year to a record low rate of 1.91. Fatality rates on the Interstate System are less than half of that for other highway systems, even though a little more than one-fifth of all highway travel in the United States occurs on the Interstate System.
