A lot has changed since the Model T rolled off the line! Since 1925, there has been a 90% decrease in the annual death rate due to motor vehicle travel. This is particularly impressive given the number of motor vehicles, drivers, and miles traveled in motor vehicles have all increased dramatically since 1925. Some of the biggest reasons why? Seat belt laws, car seats & booster seats, and awareness campaigns around drunk driving, young drivers, and pedestrians. #PublicHealthMatters
