A statistical projection of traffic fatalities for the first half of 2014 shows that an estimated 14,950 people died in motor vehicle traffic crashes. This represents a decrease of about 2.2 percent as compared to the 15,294 fatalities that were reported to have occurred in the first half of 2013. Preliminary data reported by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) shows that vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in the first 6 months of 2014 increased by about 6.5 billion miles, or about a 0.4-percent increase. Also shown are the fatality rates per 100 million VMT, by quarter. The fatality rate for the first half of 2014 decreased to 1.02 fatalities per 100 million VMT, down from 1.05 fatalities per 100 million VMT in the first half of 2013. The actual counts for 2013 and 2014 and the ensuing percentage change from 2013 to 2014 will be further revised when the final file for 2013 and the annual reporting file for 2014 are available later this year.
