Abstract
Motor vehicle fatalities are expected to continue their long term upward trend for the remainder of the 1980 decade to an annual rate of approximately 50,000 by 1990. The assumptions upon which this projection is based include a greater number of vehicles and drivers, increased travel and a higher rate of economic growth. Although the absolute number of fatalities is expected to increase, private and public safety efforts will result in a continuing decline in fatality risks per unit of travel.
