*Injury data not available before 1988.

Note: Vehicle miles traveled (VMT) data in this table have been revised and are not based exclusively on Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) data as they have been in earlier reports. The change was made to reflect the different vehicle classification schemes used by FHWA and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
