Since the mid-1970s, transportation safety has significantly improved. A study by Ian Savage highlights a nearly 50% reduction in highway motor vehicle deaths. This historical context sets the stage for understanding how far we've come and the current state of transportation safety.
Improvements in vehicle design, traffic laws, and safety technologies have contributed to this decline, making our roads safer today than ever before.
But not all modes of transportation are equally safe. Let’s look at the current risks associated with different types of travel.
According to the National Safety Council and Savage’s research, motorcycles are the most dangerous, with a fatality rate of nearly 213 deaths per million miles traveled. In contrast, buses have a remarkably low rate of 0.11 deaths per million miles.
Motorcycles and passenger vehicles are among the most dangerous modes of transportation. Passenger vehicles, while safer than motorcycles, still present significant risks, especially in high-traffic areas.
On the other hand, buses and trains are the safest. Their lower rates of injury-related deaths make them reliable options for daily commutes.
Let's localize this discussion with statistics from Illinois and Chicago. In 2019, Illinois recorded 1,009 highway fatalities, 51 rail fatalities, and 21 transit fatalities. The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) boasts high ridership but also faces its share of accidents involving buses and trains.
Despite the occasional accidents, CTA remains a relatively safe transportation option compared to private vehicles and motorcycles.
So, how can you protect yourself while using different modes of transportation?
For drivers and motorcyclists: Avoid distractions, obey traffic laws, and wear appropriate safety gear. For pedestrians: Stay alert, use crosswalks, and make eye contact with drivers before crossing.
