    • Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) 2021 - Vehicle Auxiliary File

    Metadata Updated: August 21, 2024

    The Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) 2021 Final Release - Vehicle Information Auxiliary File dataset was compiled from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). The final release data is published 12-15 months after the initial release of FARS, and could contain additional fatal accidents due to the delay in police reporting, toxicology reports, etc., along with changes to attribute information for previously reported fatal accidents. This file contain elements derived from the FARS datasets to make it easier to extract certain data classifications and topical areas. This file downloaded from the open data catalog is synonymous with what USDOT/NHTSA releases for FARS as the VEH_AUX file.
