# Bike Safety Shift: Top 10 Riskiest States

##### Why are we still measuring bike risk by crashes per-capita when only part of the total population rides a bike? These types of incorrect data analyses poorly inform transportation planning.

##### Instead, get up to speed on a more detailed way to measure exposure: Crashes per actual bicycle miles traveled (BMT). Comparing crashes to BMT instead of per-capita helps you enhance bike safety where your city really needs it. Download the report to see:

- Examples of how BMT shifts safety focus areas
- Top 10 re-ranked safest and most dangerous states
- How to calculate BMT for your area

 

##### Start enhancing bike safety in your region.

##### “It doesn’t make sense to measure bike risk per-capita data when not everyone in the state rides bikes. Because of the availability of Big Data, we can for the first time measure risk per mile cycled nationwide, and even compare areas to each other.”
