What is the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS)?
The Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) is a nationwide database maintained by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It collects comprehensive data on fatal injuries suffered in motor vehicle traffic crashes. Since its inception in 1975, FARS has been a critical resource for researchers, policymakers, and public health officials aiming to understand and mitigate road traffic fatalities.
