The number of deaths per passenger-mile on commercial airlines in the United States between 2000 and 2010 was about 0.2 deaths per 10 billion passenger-miles, [89] [90] while for driving, the rate was 1.5 per 100 million vehicle-miles for 2000, which is 150 deaths per 10 billion miles for comparison with the air travel rate.

In the United States, it is computed per 100 million miles traveled, while internationally it is computed in 100 million or 1 billion kilometers traveled. According to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, Office of Traffic Safety Volume of traffic, or vehicle miles traveled (VMT), is a predictor of crash incidence.
The state had the most vehicle miles of travel, and trucks were a popular option. Nearly one-fifth of miles traveled in rural parts of the state were completed via truck, which ranked Wyoming ...
Estimated total vehicle miles traveled notched up a little more than 2% during the same period. Together, these changes caused the death rate to decline to 1.26 deaths per 100 million miles driven.
A recent study named N.C. one of the bottom 10 states for road safety across the nation. We look at how Wilmington-area counties compare.
Only 19% of people in the U.S. live in rural areas, and 30% of the VMT (vehicle miles traveled) occur in rural areas, but half of the crash deaths does occur in those rural areas: [32] while there are 0.87 deaths per millions miles traveled in urban area, there are 1.93 deaths per millions miles traveled in rural areas. [32]
