Estimates for all other years are interpolated. (An alternative approach would have been to use CPI index for post-2000 years. In such case, estimates through 2005 would vary by less than 1%. After 2005, however, the CPI would have provided 2% to 3% higher estimates). Note that these estimates do not include non-injury-related costs such as property damage and travel delay.

Injury ratios remain fixed from one study year to another. Cost estimates for all nonstudy years are interpolated. (An alternative approach would have been to use CPI index for post-2000 years. In such case, estimates through 2005 would vary by less than 1%. For 2006 and 2007, however, the CPI would have provided 2% to 3% higher estimates). Note that these estimates do not include non-injury-related costs such as property damage and travel delay.
