The table below shows the motor vehicle fatality rate in the United States by year from 1899 through 2017. For 2016 specifically, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data shows 37,461 people were killed in 34,436 motor vehicle crashes, an average of 102 per day.[1] In 2010, there were an estimated 5,419,000 crashes, 30,296 with fatalities, killing 32,999, and injuring 2,239,000.[2] About 2,000 children under 16 die every year in traffic collisions.[2] Records indicate that there were 3,613,732 motor vehicle fatalities in the United States from 1899 to 2013. Although the number of deaths, and deaths relative to the total US population, declined over most of the previous two decades, the trend reversed in 2015 and continued to move upward in 2016.{{Update inline|reason=2017 estimates show decline|date=February 2018}} From 1979 to 2005, the number of deaths per year decreased 14.97% while the number of deaths per capita decreased by 35.46%. The 32,479 traffic fatalities in 2011 were the lowest in 62 years, since 1949. US motor death statistics reported by government only include those on public roads, and do not include parking lots, driveways, and private roads.[3] Motor vehicle deaths in U.S. by yearYear | Deaths | VMT- Vehicle miles traveled (billions) | Fatalities per 100 million VMT | Population | Fatalities per 100,000 population | date=February 2019 |

These fatalities do not include those also attributable to transportation due pollution nor energy production for the use of the transportation. They are also only human fatalities, and animals are also significantly affected with tens of millions of deaths [10]. Another factor not included in this tally is that attributable to traffic noise, which could be millions as a contributory factor and is likely to be tens of thousands as a direct consequence [11]. PedestriansPedestrian deaths are included in above totals. These deaths had been falling from 6,482 in 1990 to 4,109 in 2009. The number began rising in 2010, and exceeded 6,000 by 2018. Proportionately, pedestrians comprised 12% of all traffic deaths in 2008, rising to 16% in 2017. A report by the Governors Highway Safety Association said most of the increases in deaths occurred at night, as well as suggesting several other potential explanations for the rise, including changes in economics, such as fuel fuel prices, and changes in weather and demographics, along with increases in population, vehicle miles traveled, and time spent walking. The shift away from passenger cars to light duty trucks, particularity the popularity of SUVs, also coincided with the increase, and light truck impacts cause worse pedestrian injuries. An increase in pedestrian smartphone distraction is also a factor, with the number of phones in use increasing by a factor of five from 2010 to 2017.[12] Some 6,227 pedestrians were killed in traffic in 2018 in the USA.[13] See also- Cyclist fatality rate in U.S. by year
