For the past several years, Hawai'i County has had the highest percentage of traffic fatalities <br />per capita in the state (see Figure 1). The number of fatal traffic crashes on Hawaii Island has <br />remained steady as Vehicle Miles Travelled across the state increased over the years (see <br />Figure 2). However, a significant reduction in traffic fatalities was realized in a corresponding <br />timeframe where Vehicle Miles Travelled dipped, showing a correlation between a reduction in <br />passenger vehicle travel and lives lost. <br />FIGURE 1, STATE OF HAWAII TRAFFIC FATALITIES PER CAPITA (YEARS 2003-2017) <br />4- <br />30% <br />UL <br />U (0 * W, <br />00000, <br />20 % '0 <br />CL <br />(0 <br />0 (D <br />CL 10% LV ft 'A.or <br />00 , <br />LM 0 <br />0 <br />OL YEAR 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 <br />Hawail Kauai ------ Maui Honolulu <br />Counties <br />40 <br />35 <br />0 <br />T 30 <br />0 <br />25 <br />20 <br />u 10 <br />10 <br />E <br />3 <br />Z <br />5 <br />FIGURE 2.
