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.

  • 2026-07-01 · Leadership · Streetsblog NYC · ↑ helps grade
    The Council backed DSNY’s return of hard-to-peel “shame stickers” and a $65 summons for alternate-side scofflaws. Cars that block sweepers face a mark and a fine. Street safety gains stay unclear.
  • 2026-05-05 · Leadership · Streetsblog Empire State · ↓ hurts grade
    Albany argued while danger stayed put. Speed-limiter plan for repeat speeders hit due-process and privacy pushback. The delay keeps fast cars in play for people on foot and on bikes.
  • 2026-04-23 · Leadership · Streetsblog NYC · ↑ helps grade
    DSNY says safety and miles will weigh more in waste-zone bids. Earlier picks put price first. Big trucks with long violation lists kept the work. Pedestrians and cyclists pay the risk.
  • 2026-04-17 · Leadership · Streetsblog NYC · ↑ helps grade
    City Hall pitched curbside trash bins as safety gains. West Harlem saw crashes down 15% and serious injuries down 52%. Pedestrian injuries fell 9%. The plan takes curb space from car storage and scales citywide.
