How we calculate this

We calculate these costs using a method developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA. It gives one set of costs for crashes with injuries and another for crashes with no reported injuries.

Crashes with injuries cost much more because the method includes things like lost work, medical care, and long-term harm. NHTSA says crash costs include "lost productivity, medical, legal and court costs, emergency service, insurance administration, congestion, property damage, and workplace losses."

These are estimates, not bills. "Other harm" is the part of the broader estimate that goes beyond direct bills and insurance claims. It captures pain, disability, and lost quality of life.

Recent concern: State Department of Transportation Announces Completion of $11.3 Million Project to Repair Concrete Pavement on Cross Bronx and Brooklyn-Queens Expressways
  • 2026-09-04 · Leadership · NYSDOT Press Releases · ↓ hurts grade
    NYSDOT says it finished $11.3M concrete repairs on Cross Bronx and BQE ramps. Smoother lanes can mean faster driving and more traffic. Pedestrians and cyclists get no new protection—only more risk and fumes nearby.
