In 2023, the number of road fatalities in the US stood as a baseline for forecasting. From 2024 to 2028, the projected data indicates a steady annual increase in road fatalities per million persons. Specifically, there is a notable year-on-year growth from 2024 (15.21) through 2028 (16.62). The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period suggests a gradual escalation in fatalities per capita.

Future trends to watch for:

Increased adoption of advanced vehicle safety technologies and their impact on reducing fatalities.
Policy changes aimed at improving road safety standards and regulations.
Influence of urban planning and public transportation to mitigate road traffic incidents.
Effects of demographic shifts and behavioral changes in driving habits.
