2 LETTER FROM THE Transportation Director Providing a safe transportation system is key to the mission of the Alabama Department of Transportation. Analyzing data about crashes is an important part of how ALDOT personnel identify specific opportunities for improving the safety of our transportation system. We then use innovative engineering techniques, perform routine maintenance, and manage funding in a fiscally responsible and priority-based manner to create safer roads. As you review the data in the 2016 Crash Facts book, I challenge you to consider your personal commitment to safety and the things you can do to help reduce the number of crashes in Alabama. Always follow speed limits; drive sober; buckle up; share the road with motorcycles, bicycles and pedestrians; obey railroad crossing signals; avoid any and all forms of distracted driving; and lead by example by teaching young people safe driving habits. Wearing a seat belt and making sure that everybody in the vehicle is wearing a seat belt is the single most important safety habit you can adopt. You will see on page 22 of 2016 Crash Facts that ALMOST 60 PERCENT OF PEOPLE WHO DIED IN CRASHES WERE NOT WEARING A SEAT BELT. Statistics clearly show seat belts and using proper safety restraints save lives. Violators of Alabama s restraint laws may be fined and assessed points on their driver licenses. Simply put, there are plenty of good reasons to buckle up. I hope you will look further into 2016 Crash Facts to find even more important insights into making our roads safe. Drive Safe Alabama! John R. Cooper Transportation Director Crash Facts Alabama Department of Transportation

4 2016 Crash Data Quick Facts 2016 CRASH DATA 2016 VS All Crashes 155,907 Increased 5.73% Injuries 47,653 Increased 8.25% Fatal Crashes 994 Increased 25.98% Fatalities 1,089 Increased 28.27% There were 1,089 people killed in 994 fatal crashes. A traffic crash was reported every 3 minutes and 22 seconds. A person was injured in a traffic crash every 11 minutes and 2 seconds. Speeding is the leading cause of fatal crashes. Registered Vehicles in Alabama Licensed Drivers in Alabama Vehicle Miles Traveled in Alabama 5,504,068 Decreased 0.51% 3,947,628 Increased 0.89% 69,610,272,000 Increased 1.62% For fatal crashes where a restraint was available for use, almost 60 percent of fatalities were unrestrained. Most Alabama crashes (78 percent) occurred in urban areas, but most fatalities (60 percent) occurred in rural areas. Of all fatal crashes, 9 percent were caused by drivers 19 or under, and 22 percent were caused by drivers under 25 years of age. For each fatality, there were over 43 injuries. Based on 2016 data, typical drivers in Alabama have greater than a one in three chance of involvement in an injury or fatal crash operating a vehicle over their lifetimes. Of all fatal crashes, over 50 percent occurred at night (including dusk and dawn). The pedestrian death toll was 122. There were 114 fatalities involving motorcycle or moped riders. Bicyclists accounted for 4 fatalities. The probability of individuals being in a crash of any severity during their lifetimes is greater than 98%. There were 9 fatalities with train involvement. For front seat occupants who are in vehicle crashes, the probability of being killed is 57 times higher for those not wearing safety belts than those who are properly restrained Crash Facts Alabama Department of Transportation

13 IDK TEEN DRIVER QUIZ Campaign To reach a tech-savvy teen audience, the Alabama Department of Transportation developed a teen-focused educational quiz that was served to the year-old demographic through animated Instagram and Facebook ads. The goal of the initiative was to increase awareness of safe driving habits among teens and encourage engagement with the Drive Safe Alabama website by leveraging the appeal of a quiz game through social media. A custom theme and logo/brand was developed to appeal to the target audience. The objective was to influence better behavior behind the wheel by engaging as many teens as possible with clever copy and graphics to take the quiz and learn about safe driving habits. Over 1,900 participants completed the quiz in the five week campaign push, with a 1.62% click through rate (higher than the industry average).
