2005 Annual Assessment
This presentation supersedes the presentation released on August 22nd 2006. The data and statements relating to fatality rates are updated based on the latest available exposure data from the Federal Highway Administration. Some edits were made to the following slides: 4, 9-10, 37-42, 65, 108, 117. This report updates the 2005 Projections released in April 2006, which were based on a statistical procedure using incomplete/partial data. This report also compares fatality counts and estimates of people injured resulting from motor vehicle traffic crashes occurring in 2005, with counts and estimates from final 2004 files. As usual, the final numbers reported are updated from the previously released annual file data; the 2004 final file shows an increase of 200 more fatalities. Counts and estimates are based on Fatality Analysis Reporting System and NASS General Estimates System files, as indicated in the sources listed on page 4. The fatality counts for 2005 will be finalized next year. Data from 2004 and prior years are final and will not be updated again.

2005 Annual Assessment
Since the fatality counts from FARS data are based on a census of fatal traffic crashes, the fatality data contained in the following tables is not subject to sampling error. However, the estimates of people injured from NASS GES data are based on a nationally representative sample of police-reported crashes and hence are subject to sampling errors. The changes in people-injured data between 2004 and 2005 that are statistically significant (where applicable) are indicated in the respective tables with a footnote.
