America has reached the highest number of fatalities on roads since 2007. In the United States, 46,000 people died on our roads in 2021, a nine percent increase from 2020. Black, Hispanic, and Native populations are more likely to experience a pedestrian accident that results in a death compared to their total percentage of the population. From the 2020 data, fatality impacts were up 23 percent for non-Hispanic Black people. Neighborhoods experiencing poverty are also disproportionally impacted.
