The objective of this study by the National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) was to examine the trend and pattern of highway traffic crash fatality by month, day, and day of week for the period 1975-2002. Data from NCSAs Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) exposure data on Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) were used. The trend and pattern of monthly and daily traffic crash fatalities varies significantly, depending on the particular month, day, and day of week. Traffic safety offices will find this information useful to schedule their safety and enforcement campaigns during the high crash times of the year for drivers, passengers, and pedestrians.
