The New York City Police Department is the primary City agency responsible for collecting crash data in New York City. Approximately 78,000 crashes happen each year in New York City.
However, the NYPD’s Collision Investigation Squad investigates less than half of 1 percent of all crashes (Transportation Alternatives, 2012. Reclaim, Vol 18, #4, p.19).
New York City needs more comprehensive crash reporting, and that starts with New Yorkers like YOU.
In addition to mapping more information about where and how crashes and “near misses” occur, this map also provides a tool for witnesses of a crash to reach out to the victim(s), for any police, legal or insurance needs.
