How were these numbers calculated?

We used NYC Open Data’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets — Crashes (h9gi-nx95), Persons (f55k-p6yu), and Vehicles (bm4k-52h4). We filtered records to the period Jan 1, 2022 through Sep 24, 2025 and to crashes located within New York State Senate District 27. We then counted total crashes, injuries, serious injuries, and fatalities, and computed rolling “past 12 months” and year‑to‑date comparisons. You can view the base datasets [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95). Data were accessed Sep 24, 2025.

Who represents this area?

Council Member Christopher Marte (District 1), Assembly Member Grace Lee (AD 65), and State Senator Brian Kavanagh (SD 27).

What Crashes Cost Here Loading estimate...

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.

Recent win: A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring a school crossing guard at each school enrolling students in kindergarten through eighth grade

Marte co-sponsors K–8 crossing guard mandate, improving child pedestrian safety citywide.
👍 Positive
2025-10-29 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar · ↑ helps grade
Int 1439-2025 would require the NYPD to assign at least one crossing guard to every public and private K–8 school by Sept. 1, 2026. It places an adult between traffic and children at arrival and dismissal, changing street interactions around schools.
A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring a school crossing guard at each school enrolling students in kindergarten through eighth grade
👍 Positive
2025-10-29 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar · ↑ helps grade
Assigning crossing guards at all K–8 schools will reduce child pedestrian risk at peak times and can encourage walking to school, supporting safety-in-numbers. The effect is localized and time-limited and does not address broader street design, but it shifts responsibility toward driver compliance rather than vulnerable users.
City Requires Crossing Guard at Every K-8
👍 Positive
2025-10-29 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar · ↑ helps grade
Council bill orders one crossing guard at every K-8 school by Sept. 1, 2026. The commissioner must assign guards to public and private schools. The law takes effect immediately. Children will cross with an adult on duty at peak times.
A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the department of social services issuing replacement transit benefit cards
👍 Positive
2025-10-09 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar · ↑ helps grade
Easier and low-cost replacement of reduced-fare transit cards maintains access to transit, supporting mode shift from driving and reducing traffic exposure risks for pedestrians and cyclists. The modest fee only after the first replacement limits barriers, so net effects on vulnerable road users are slightly positive via fewer cars and safety-in-numbers.
