Pedestrian Fatalities per 100,000 people, for 20 Densest States in the US

Understanding pedestrian fatalities are a critical component of making our transportation network safer. Understanding what factors influence pedestrian fatality rates within and across local, regional, and national transportation networks is a subject that needs more attention. To this end, my goal was to create a simple, easy to understand yet powerful graph that displayed the data from about state pedestrian fatality rates, from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) database. I hope this type of graph can help inform future policy and/or investment of the USDOT.
