Traffic Safety Facts: Occupant Protection 2014

Abstract

This fact sheet summarizes occupant protection data trends at state and county levels. Restraint use and injury analyses are limited to those occurring in passenger vehicles (defined as passenger cars, pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles, and vans). Analyses include data from several sources. Indiana data come primarily from the Indiana State Police Automated Reporting Information Exchange System (ARIES), as of March 23, 2015. Nearly 89 percent of passenger vehicle occupants injured (excludes individuals in collisions with no injury reported) in 2014 Indiana traffic collisions were wearing the proper safety restraint.
