Abstract There are now more than 200 million licensed drivers, who drive an average of 13,000 miles per year on 4 million miles of roads. In 2010 crashes resulted in nearly 33,000 deaths and millions of nonfatal injuries. This article describes the Injury Center's response to this public health threat from our beginnings as a small Center in 1992, current motor vehicle injury prevention priorities, and emerging road safety issues that will need attention in the future.
