| 1 Numbers for 2000 are preliminary estimates. Aviation data come from the NTSB; all other data are from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). | |||||||
| 2 Grade crossing fatalities are not counted as a separate category for determining the grand totals because they are included in the highway and rail categories, as appropriate. | |||||||
| 3 Data reported to Federal Rail Administration (FRA). | |||||||
| 4 Does not include motor vehicle occupants killed at grade crossings. | |||||||
| 5 Data reported to Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Fatalities for commuter rail operations may also be reported to the FRA and may be included in the intercity railroad fatalities. | |||||||
| 6 Refers to operational fatalities. | |||||||
| 7 Includes non-U.S. registered aircraft involved in accidents in the United States. | |||||||
