Data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) for 2023 indicates Montana exceeded the national average of alcohol-impaired driver fatalities in million vehicle miles traveled. For the year, the national average was 0.38 whereas Montana had a rate of 0.52.

FARS Data also shows that 34% of all fatalities in Montana were the result of alcohol-impaired driving, this is slightly up from 33% in 2022.

Our goals are to:

  • Reduce Alcohol-Impaired Fatalities
  • To attain a five-year average rate of impaired driving fatalities of 86.9 by December 31, 2026.
