We're a tool for helping hold local politicians and other actors accountable for their failure to protect you when you're walking or cycling in NYC. We update our site constantly to provide you with up to date information on what's happening in your neighborhood.

How were these numbers calculated?

We pulled NYPD collision records from NYC Open Data’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets (Crashes h9gi-nx95, Persons f55k-p6yu, Vehicles bm4k-52h4), filtered to New York City from Jan 1, 2022 through Sep 28, 2025. We used injury severity fields to count deaths (is=5), serious injuries, and total injuries, and we used crash dates for rolling 12‑month and year‑to‑date tallies. Data was last ingested on Sep 26, 2025. You can view the base dataset [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95).

What happened at 115th Avenue and 227th Street?

On Sep 22, 2025, a driver going straight in a sedan hit a 36‑year‑old e‑bike rider at 115th Avenue and 227th Street; police recorded the bicyclist as killed at the scene (CrashID 4844394). Source: [NYC Open Data](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95).

City policy statements and enforcement programs point to speed as the lever that separates life from death. As NYC DOT’s commissioner put it, “A driver’s speed can mean the difference between life and death,” in announcing 20 MPH zones under Sammy’s Law; the city has also secured 24/7 speed cameras. Sources: policy history notes; [NYC Open Data](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95).

Ask the city to set a 20 MPH default for neighborhood streets and tell Albany to pass the Stop Super Speeders Act so habitual offenders are forced to slow down. Start here: [CrashCount Take Action](/take_action/).
