7 INTRODUCTION Purpose: Crash Data: Other Data: Private Property : : Fact Sheets: Prepared By: The North Dakota Crash Summary, produced annually by the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT), Safety Division, identifies and describes the trends and effects of traffic crashes in North Dakota. The statistics within the North Dakota Crash Summary describe factors that contribute to the occurrence of crashes, crash-related injuries and fatalities. This summary is designed to heighten awareness about traffic safety by allowing safety program specialists, public health personnel, and other interested individuals to identify areas where programs may be focused in an effort to reduce traffic-related injuries and fatalities. The data for this summary is derived from North Dakota crash reports. These reports are completed by law enforcement officers throughout the state who collect data from crash scenes on public roadways. Information is collected when a crash involves fatalities, injuries, or at least $1, property damage. Crash reports are forwarded to NDDOT for central collection. The crash report data is entered into the Crash Reporting System (CRS) and is available for data review. Data from the Office of the Attorney General, State Toxicologist, and the North Dakota Highway Patrol is also included. Private property crashes and non-traffic crashes are not included in this summary. Additional information is collected on fatal crashes and compiled into a separate database, the ity Analysis Reporting System (FARS). This data base is maintained by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. In order to provide information at a glance, the North Dakota 213 Fast Facts is included in the introduction section. Fast Facts provides an overview of the Crash Summary and is useful when presenting information to others. This report was prepared by the North Dakota Department of Transportation, Safety Division. For more information, please contact: North Dakota Department of Transportation Safety Division 68 East Boulevard Avenue Bismarck, North Dakota Available At: The summary is available on the internet at dot.nd.gov.

8 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NORTH DAKOTA TRAFFIC DEATHS DECREASE IN people died on North Dakota roads in 213, 22 fewer than in 212. NDDOT focuses its safety efforts on: Statewide and local traffic safety programs that have increased awareness of traffic safety issues. High visibility enforcement campaigns (high volume multi-media in conjunction with increased, targeted law enforcement) specific to driver behavior (impaired driving and seat belt use). Improved engineering of roadway infrastructure. Seat belt use in North Dakota ranks below the national average. The national average in 213, as reported by the National Occupant Protection Use Survey, was 87 percent, while North Dakota s rate was 77.7 percent. This rate decreased from 8.9 in 212. As improvements are made the challenges continue and traffic safety must continue to be a top priority in North Dakota. In 213: percent of motor vehicle fatal crashes involved alcohol, compared to percent in percent of individuals killed in motor vehicle crashes were not wearing seat belts, compared to 66.7 percent in percent of fatal motor vehicle crashes were speed related/driving too fast for conditions, an increase from 212. This 213 North Dakota Crash Summary contains further details regarding motor vehicle crashes in North Dakota. This document exists to help various traffic safety partners advance motor vehicle safety on a statewide basis. Traffic safety partners include: law enforcement agencies, judicial personnel, legislators, news media, research analysts, health care providers, insurance companies, businesses, students, and others involved in traffic safety activities. Crash statistics are a critical element of traffic safety programming. It is only through careful analysis of crashes that we learn about their causes, and develop corresponding solutions through legislation, law enforcement, safety programs, and highway improvements. As a partner in the highway safety community, your efforts help NDDOT to accomplish its mission to safely move people and goods, making North Dakota a safer place to live, work, and play. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Gratitude is extended to all law enforcement personnel at the city, county, and state levels who provide the accurate crash reports from which these statistics are obtained. Their efforts make this report a reliable source of information. 2 North Dakota Crash Summary 213
