Trends - Safety Indicators - Traffic Accidents per:
(1982 = 100)
The first three safety indicators in the table above are those published by OC Transpo. Two showed an overall declining trend during 1982-1997. The trend of increasing average travel distance per passenger suggested that the rate of traffic accidents per passenger-km did not increase to the same degree as the rate per passenger. The authors added this safety indicator accordingly.
