California 2011 Mileage Death Rate (MDR) — fatalities per 100 million miles traveled - is 0.87, and marks the third time California has been below 1.0. California is much better than the national 1.11 MDR. Fatality rates increased 3% from 2010 to 2011, and are projected to increase an additional 3% in 2012. Alcohol- impaired driving fatalities (fatalities in crashes involving a driver or motorcycle rider (operator) with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 grams per deciliter (g /dL) or greater) matches our historic low of 774 in 2010 and 2011. The 774 figure is the lowest DUI death total ever. As a percent of total fatalities, alcohol - impaired fatalities decreased from 29 percent in 2010 to 28 percent in 2011. This number has remained virtually unchanged in the past five years and DUI arrests have dropped in 2011 to 180,212 as compared to 195,897 in 2010. The 2011 DUI arrest figure represents the lowest DUI arrests since 2002. For the second year in row, OTS commissioned an observational survey of cell phone use by drivers within the state, looking for hand -held and hands -free talking as well as texting and other use of mobile devices while driving. The overall rate was 10.8 percent of drivers on the road using cell phones at any given daylight time, up from 7.3 percent in 2011. Although observed cell phone use increases were seen across all age groups, 16 to 25 year olds showed a dramatic rise, doubling from 9 percent to 18 percent. The problem of drugged driving continues to rise. Based on data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 30 percent of all drivers who were killed in motor vehicle crashes in California in 2011 tested positive for legal and/or illegal drugs, a percentage that has been increasing since 2006. Motorcycle fatalities increased 15 percent from 352 in 2010 to 414 in 2011. Projections indicate a similar number were killed in 2012.

Cities can use these comparisons to see what traffic safety areas they may have problems in and which they were doing well in. Identifying emerging or on -going traffic safety problem areas help cities plan how to combat the problems. It should be noted that OTS rankings are only indicators of potential problems; there are many factors that may either understate or overstate a city/county ranking that must be evaluated based on local circumstances. The OTS Rankings are determined by the following: (1) Victim and collision data for the rankings is taken from the latest available California Highway Patrol (CHI') Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) data; (2) Victim and collision rankings are based on rates of victims killed and injured or fatal and injury collisions per "1,000 daily- vehicle- miles-of- travel" (Caltrans data) and per "1,000 average population" (Department of Finance data) figures. This more accurately ensures proper weighting and comparisons when populations and daily vehicle miles traveled vary; (3) DUI arrest totals and rankings are calculated for cities only and are based on rates of non -CHP DUI arrests (Department of Justice data). This is so that local jurisdictions can see how their own efforts are working; and (4) Counties are assigned statewide rankings, while cities are assigned population group rankings. NOTE: City rankings are for incorporated cities only. County Rankings include all roads — state, county and local — and all jurisdictions — CIIP, Sheriff, Police and special. OTS Rankings are calculated so that the higher the number of victims or collisions per 1000 residents in a population group, the higher the ranking. Number 1 in the rankings is the highest, or "worst." So, for Group 13, a ranking of 1/53 is the highest or worst, 27/53 is average, and 53/53 is the lowest or best. The same methodology also applies for DUI arrest rankings.
