| Abstract | The 2003 traffic fatality count was 1,283, up 0.3 percent from the 2002 figure of 1,279. Compared with 2002, injuries were down 6.2 percent and total crashes were down 1.0 percent. These figures translated into a death rate of 1.3 per 100 million miles of travel, the same as the 2002 death rate. Exposure factors in 2003 showed increases in vehicle registrations, the number of drivers on Michigan roads, and travel mileage. Motor vehicle registrations are up 0.2 percent to 8.71 million, the number of licensed drivers is up 0.7 percent to 7.19 million, and vehicle miles traveled are up 2.1 percent to 100.2 billion. Consumption of alcohol continues to be a major factor in Michigan crashes, particularly the more serious crashes. In 2003, 3.9 percent of all crashes, including property damage only, were reported to involve drinking. While 19.9 percent of all crashes resulted in injury or death, 43.8 percent of alcohol-related crashes involved injury or death. 30.9 percent of fatal crashes involved drinking. Data on crashes in this book was obtained from 2003 Michigan Traffic Crash Report Forms (UD-10) submitted by local police departments, sheriffs, and the Department of State Police. Other related information was obtained from the Departments of Transportation, State, and Community Health. |
