Data from several sources was used to examine the similarities and differences in the characteristics of crashes occurring in rural areas vs. those occurring in urban areas. Data from the Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS) for the period 1975 - 1993 was used to examine the characteristics of rural fatal crashes, contrasted with the characteristics of urban fatal crashes. For crashes of lower severity, data from three of the state files maintained by the National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA), i.e., Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New Mexico for the period 1989 - 1993, were examined. Finally, data from the Crash Outcome Data Evaluation System (CODES) was used to contrast safety belt use and medical costs for persons injured in rural crashes vs those injured in urban crashes.
