Maine Highway Safety Facts 2016

The Bureau of Highway Safety and the Maine Department of Transportation are pleased to present the 2016 edition of Maine Highway Safety Facts. This publication provides Maine crash data facts through 2015 giving a view of traffic crashes and their factors. It can be a valuable tool in problem identification, safety education and community activities. Since it is intended to provide a general information overview, the data is presented in a very basic format. Trend lines reflect five-year annual averages. Topics covered represent the most frequently requested information. Data sources are from the Maine Fatal Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and MaineDOT’s crash data system. Any comments or questions you may have about the information are welcome.

*NOTE: The significant variance in this area is due to the 2011 Maine Crash Reporting System (MCRS) change in distracted driving reporting definition. Distracted driving results are for 2012-2015.

Overall results from 2011-2015 (white) have shown improvement over the earlier five-year study period of 2006-2010 (blue).

Severity comparison (orange column) shows relative potential for a fatal outcome - the higher the number, the higher the chance of a fatality in that crash type.

sDistracted Driving Crashes

Prior to 2011, police crash reports captured general distracted/inattentive driving factors, and 10,000+ distraction/inattention related crashes were reported annually. During 2011, Maine switched to an updated crash report in line with national guidance that now reports on speci�c distracted practices, but does not include generic inattention, greatly reducing the reported number of distracted crashes. Distracted driving behaviors are usually self-reported.
