NOTES: Air
includes commercial and general aviation. Waterborne includes
commercial and recreational vessels. See note on table 60 for
complete information on inclusions by mode and definitions of light
and large trucks. Commercial aviation data
for 2001 do not include fatalities that resulted from the terrorist
attacks on New York City and Washington, DC.
Figure 62 excludes the motorcycle occupant
fatality rate data, because the rate is much higher than for the
other selected highway modes. Those data are available on table 62 in appendix B.
