CURRENT STATUS OF WALKING
Benchmarking Bicycling & Bicycling Walking & in Walking/ the U.S./ Thunderhead Alliance 2007
Sources: ACS (2005), NHTS (2001-2002), FARS (2003-2005)
(1) Mean value reported is from NHTS nationwide data;
(2) All fatality data is based on the 3-year average number of fatalities from 2003-2005;
(3) Pedestrian fatality rate was calculated by dividing the total number of walking trips (using NHTS estimates) by the 3-year average number
of pedestrian fatalities, this value was multiplied by 10,000 to represent fatalities per 10,000 people;
(4) All averages are weighted by population or take into account the sums from all states except for those noted with a *.
