| What is this
Indicator? This indicator shows the Allen
County fatality rate. |
|
Why this is important?
The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)
established a national goal of 1.0 fatalities per 100 million miles
traveled. Such goals allow local jurisdictions to measure
effectiveness of efforts to reduce serious crashes as compared to a
national standard. Tracking and examining the
contributing factors to such serious crashes allows planners,
engineers, law enforcement, as well as emergency responders to
identify problems and work to reduce the incidence of these
events.

| Technical Note:
The fatality rate is calculated based on traffic
related fatalities per year per 100 million miles
traveled. |
