This Research Note serves as a companion publication to the Technical Report State Alcohol Related Fatality Rates (DOT HS 809 673). The purpose of this publication is to analyze the trend of alcohol-related fatality rates expressed as the number of alcohol-related fatalities per 100 Million Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT), over the last few years by state. As shown in Figure 1, the alcohol-related fatality rate for the nation has been dropping since 1982, the year NHTSA started estimating alcohol involvement in fatal crashes but has maintained a relatively flat since 1998. In 2002, the rate dipped marginally to 0.61 alcohol-related fatalities per 100 Million VMT for the nation from 0.62 in 2001.
