Motorcycle crash trends in michigan: 2001-2005

Trends and patterns of motorcycle crashes in Michigan from 2001 through 2005 were examined in an effort to explain the large increase in motorcycle fatalities in Michigan between 2004 and 2005. Analysis of motorcycle registrations and license endorsements records showed continued increase in motorcycling activity, with a 32% increase in registered motorcycles, and a 9% increase in overall motorcycle endorsements. Analysis of crash patterns by age indicated that the increase in fatalities was most likely a consequence of the aging of the motorcyclists. Motorcycling endorsements in Michigan for those age 45 years and older increased by 23% between 2001 and 2005, and the percentage of this age group among all motorcyclists increased from 56% to 64%. The number of fatalities among motorcyclists age 45 and older increased from 13 to 47 between 2001 and 2005, while the percentage that these fatalities comprised among all motorcycle fatalities increased from 14% to 41%.Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planninghttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/48740/1/99783.pd

Societal costs of traffic crashes and crime in Michigan: 2006 update

Cost estimates, including both monetary and nonmonetary quality-of-life costs specific to Michigan, were estimated for traffic crashes and index crimes by experts in the field of economics of traffic crashes and crimes. These cost estimates were applied to 2004 Michigan traffic crash and index crime incidence data to estimate dollar losses from traffic crashes and index crimes to the state and for each county within the state. Crash costs associated with alcohol-involved traffic crashes were also calculated. Findings indicate that in 2004, index crimes in Michigan resulted in $2.0 billion in monetary costs and$5.1 billion in total (monetary and nonmonetary quality-of-life) costs. Traffic crashes resulted in $5.9 billion in monetary costs and$12.4 billion in total costs. Of these costs, alcohol-involved crashes accounted for $1 billion in monetary costs and$2.6 billion in total costs. Based on dollar losses to the state, the magnitude of the problem of traffic crashes exceeded that of index crimes in 2004.Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planninghttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/48741/1/99784.pd

Societal Costs of Traffic Crashes and Crime in Michigan: 2017 Update

Michigan-specific monetary and nonmonetary quality-of-life costs for victims of index crimes (murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft) and traffic crashes were estimated by experts in the field of economics of traffic crashes and crimes. Monetary costs include costs of medical care, future earnings/lost wages, public services, adjudication and sanctioning, and property damage and loss. Quality-of-life costs are based on the current U.S Department of Transportation value of statistical life, which increased substantially compared to previous editions of this study. The unit costs for crimes and crashes were computed in a comparable manner. These unit costs were applied to 2015 Michigan traffic crash and index crime incidence data to estimate dollar losses from traffic crashes and index crimes to the state and for each county within the state. Crash costs associated with alcohol-involved traffic crashes, crashes with unrestrained occupants of passenger cars, teen-driver-involved crashes, motorcycle crashes, and large truck crashes were also calculated. Findings indicate that Michigan index crimes in 2015 resulted in $2.0 billion in monetary costs and$8.0 billion in total (monetary and nonmonetary quality-of-life) costs. Overall traffic crashes in Michigan in 2015 resulted in $4.6 billion in monetary costs and$19.3 billion in total costs. Of these costs, alcohol-involved crashes accounted for $793 million in monetary costs and$3.9 billion in total costs. Injury-crash involved unrestrained occupants accounted for $506 million in monetary costs and$2.6 billion in total costs. Crashes involving teen drivers accounted for almost $748 million in monetary costs and$3.2 billion in total costs. Motorcycle-involved crashes accounted for $330 million in monetary costs and$1.8 billion in total costs. Crashes involving large trucks accounted for $364 million in monetary costs and$1.3 billion in total costs.
