APPENDIX C: RESEARCH FACT SHEETS <br />• During the period 2010 through 2018, Minnesota <br />averaged 45 Fatal Ped + Bike crashed per year. <br />• Normalized for population, this results in Minnesota <br />having a Fatal Ped + Bike crash rate of 0.79 <br />Fatal Ped + Bike crashes per 100,000 population. <br />• The states that border Minnesota — North Dakota, <br />South Dakota, Iowa and Wisconsin have Fatal <br />Ped + Bike crash rates that range from <br />0.88 to 1.3/100,000 population. <br />• The Fatal Ped + Bike crash rates in the surrounding <br />states are 11- 64% higher than the rate in Minnesota. <br />• It's also important to note that every one of these <br />surrounding states has a statutory urban speed limit <br />(25 mph) that is lower than Minnesota's (30 mph). <br />• The fact that all the surrounding states have a lower <br />urban speed limit and higher Ped + Bike fatality <br />rates suggests that it is NOT reasonable to expect <br />lowering urban speed limits in Minnesota <br />to be effective reducing our Ped + Bike fatality rate. <br />2010 <br />44 <br />26 <br />23 <br />13 <br />64 <br />2011 <br />44 <br />30 <br />11 <br />8 <br />67 <br />2012 <br />47 <br />24 <br />6 <br />2 <br />60 <br />2013 <br />39 <br />24 <br />1 <br />7 <br />48 <br />2014 <br />21 <br />23 <br />15 <br />11 <br />48 <br />2015 <br />52 <br />32 <br />8 <br />7 <br />73 <br />2016 <br />66 <br />34 <br />12 <br />8 <br />63 <br />2017 <br />44 <br />30 <br />6 <br />10 <br />68 <br />2018 <br />51 <br />29 <br />8 <br />10 <br />60 <br />Total <br />408 <br />252 <br />90 <br />76 <br />551 <br />Average <br />45 <br />28 <br />10 <br />8 <br />61 <br />Population <br />5.7 M <br />3.2M <br />0.8M <br />0.9M <br />5.9M <br />Rate <br />0.79 <br />0.88 <br />1.3 <br />0.89 <br />1.05 <br />1.
