Rajesh Subramanian

Abstract

This Research Note serves as a companion publication to the Technical Report State Alcohol Related Fatality Rates, 2002 (HS-809 673). The purpose of this publication is to analyze the trend of alcohol-related fatality rates - expressed as the number of alcohol-related fatalities per 100 Million Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT), over the last few years by state. The alcohol-related fatality rate for the nation has been dropping since 1982, the year the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration started estimating alcohol involvement in fatal crashes, but has remained relatively flat since 1998. In 2002, the rate dipped marginally to 0.61 alcohol-related fatalities per 100 Million VMT for the nation from 0.62 in 2001.
