How were these numbers calculated?

We analyzed NYC’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets (Crashes h9gi-nx95, Persons f55k-p6yu, Vehicles bm4k-52h4) for Senate District 23 from 2022-01-01 to 2025-09-20. We filtered by the district’s geography as defined in our site’s SD 23 boundary and counted totals for crashes, injuries, serious injuries, and deaths. Data were accessed on Sep 19–20, 2025. You can view the base crash dataset [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95).

Who represents this area?

State Senator Jessica Scarcella‑Spanton (SD 23), Assembly Member Sam Pirozzolo (AD 63), and Council Member Kamillah Hanks (District 49).

What policies could change this now?

Two citywide moves stand out in the record: use Sammy’s Law authority to lower more streets to 20 MPH, and pass the Stop Super Speeders Act (S 4045) to require speed limiters for repeat offenders. See details and contacts [here](/take_action/).

Why mention bus lane signs on Hylan?

Because confusing signs have been linked to repeated crashes on that corridor; as Borough President Vito Fossella said, “That’s one accident every four days,” in coverage of Hylan’s bus lanes ([amNY](https://www.amny.com/news/bus-lanes-staten-island-hylan-boulevard/)).

Loading crash cost estimate...

The three blocks below show direct costs, other harm, and the total for crashes with injuries, crashes without injuries, and all crashes together.

Loading estimate...

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.
