How we work
- We use public data only: federal and state agencies such as NHTSA, the Census Bureau and Georgia's Governor's Office of Highway Safety.
- Every number on a study page is computed by a script from the source files, and a second, separate script re-checks the headline figures against another file or published table from the same agency.
- Each study says what the data can and cannot show. Where counts are small, we say so.
- No study describes any individual case, client or person.
