Pg 1-10: Updated Analysis of Pedestrian and Pedacyclist Crashes with Hybrid Vehicles

Comment:
This section provides data from research on the comparison of pedestrian crashes by hybrid vehicles to non-hybrid vehicles. The study ultimately found that hybrid vehicles have a higher rate than non-hybrids, but looking at risk-factors (like larger cities with more pedestrians and more hybrid vehicles) makes the ratio of crash differences smaller.
