Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of accidental death in the US. In 2014, more than 32,600 Americans are killed and more than 2.3 million were injured in crashes. The direct and indirect costs of crashes are substantial. One study found that crash-related costs -- which include a variety of costs, such as medical care, productivity, and travel delay -- reached at least $242 billion in 2010. And this estimate does not fully capture the price of all consequences, including long-term harm to family and community quality of life. To address this problem, the RAND Corporation, with funding from the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control at the Centers for Disease Control and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, developed an online tool called Motor Vehicle Prioritizing Interventions and Cost Calculator for States that generates state-specific cost-effectiveness estimates.
