The data from the GES, which began operation in 1988, are obtained from a nationallyrepresentative probability sample selected from all police-reported crashes. The GES sample includes only crashes where a police accident report was completed and the crash resultedin property damage, injury, or death. The resulting figures do not take into account crashes that were not reported to the police or that did not result in property damage.Fatalities , Injured persons and Motorcycles involved in crashes data for 2009 are preliminary.Since Vehicle-miles data for 2000 and later years are estimated using enhanced methodology, data for these years are not comparable with prior years or with numbers published in theprevious NTS reports.SOURCESFatalities and injuries :1975-2004: U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, National Center for Statistics and Analysis, Traffic Safety Facts , Final Edition ,(Washington, DC: Annual Issues), table 10, available at http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/ as <strong>of</strong> March 2009.2005-09: U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, National Center for Statistics and Analysis, Traffic Safety Facts , Early Edition , (Washington,DC: 2010), table 10, available at http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/cats/index.aspx as <strong>of</strong> Jan. 31, 2011.Motorcycles involved in crashes:1975-2004: U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, National Center for Statistics and Analysis, Fatality Analysis Reporting System Databaseand General Estimates System Database, personal communication, May 25, 2006.2005-08: U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, National Center for Statistics and Analysis, Traffic Safety Facts , Final Edition , (Washington,DC: Annual Issues), table 35, available at http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Cats/index.aspx as <strong>of</strong> Jan. 31, 2011.2009: U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, National Center for Statistics and Analysis, Traffic Safety Facts 2009, Early Edition ,(Washington, DC: 2010), table 36, available at http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Cats/index.aspx as <strong>of</strong> Jan. 31, 2011.Vehicle-miles:1970-2009: U.S. <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong>, Federal Highway Administration, Highway Statistics (Washington, DC: Annual Issues), table VM-1, and similar tables in earlier editions,available at http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/policy/ohpi/hss/hsspubs.cfm as <strong>of</strong> Apr. 12, 2011.
