RECORDS
Surge in traffic deaths outpaces travel increase
By JOAN LOWY
Associated Press
WASHINGTON
—
Traffic
deaths
surged
about 8 percent in the first
nine months of last year,
continuing an alarming
upward spiral that may be
partially explained by more
Americans on the roads due
to the economic recovery,
according
to
National
Highway Traffic Safety
Administration
estimates
released Friday.
The sharp increase comes
as drivers are putting more
miles on the road than ever,
the government said. But the
rise in deaths is outpacing
the increase in travel. Vehicle
miles traveled in the first
nine months of 2016 rose
about 3 percent.
There were 27,875 deaths
in the first three quarters
of last year, compared to
25,808 deaths in the same
period in 2015.
Experts believe the
increased travel is mostly
a result of an improved
economy and low gas prices.
But NHTSA’s data experts
said increased travel and a
better economy alone can’t
explain the rise in deaths.
“We still have to figure
out what is underlying those
lives lost,” NHTSA Admin-
istrator Mark Rosekind said.
“If it was simple, we would
already know that.”
The increase in deaths
is especially concerning
because it has happened at
time when cars are safer than
back. In 2015, fatalities rose
7.2 percent to 35,092 deaths.
NHTSA found some
significant regional differ-
ences in the recent fatality
increases. In the six-state
New England region, for
example, fatalities increased
an estimated 20 percent
in the first nine months of
2016. But in a six-state
region that includes North
Dakota, South Dakota,
Wyoming, Colorado, Utah
and Nevada, the increase
was only 1 percent.
There are also pockets
