(1) Estimated mode share is from NHTS and represents metropolitan areas as opposed to cities;
(2) All fatality data is based on the 3-year average number of fatalities from 2003-2005;
(3) Bike fatality rate was calculated by dividing the total number of cycling trips (using NHTS estimates) by the 3-year average
number of bicycle fatalities;
(4) This value is actually .02 which was rounded to zero;
(5) All averages are weighted by population except for those noted with a *;
(6) Oakland reported two bicycle fatalities over three years, one of which was under age 16.
