NY Crash Records is an independent website that publishes traffic crash statistics for New York City. We take the crash reports the NYPD files and the City publishes as open data, and we turn them into pages for every borough, busy ZIP code, street, intersection, contributing factor, vehicle type and year.
The raw dataset holds more than two million crash records. It is public, but it is hard to use without technical skills. Our job is to make the same information easy to find and easy to read.
Who this site is for
- Residents and commuters who want to know how safe their block, their street or their child's route to school is.
- People who were in a crash and want to understand how common crashes are at that location.
- Journalists, community boards and advocates who need quick, sourced figures for a neighborhood.
- Drivers, cyclists and pedestrians curious about when and why crashes happen.
What makes these pages different
Every number on the site comes from the official source and is recalculated every month. Each page states the period it covers and the date the data runs through.
We also explain the limits of the data on every page. Some crashes are filed without a borough or ZIP code, and the "cause" is an officer's judgment at the scene. We would rather tell you that than present a figure as more precise than it is.
We only publish a page when there is enough data to say something meaningful. A street with two crashes a year does not get its own page; a corridor with hundreds does.
What we are not
We are not the NYPD, the New York City Department of Transportation or any other government agency, and we are not affiliated with them. We are not a law firm and we do not give legal advice.
Our sister directory, NY Attorney Records, lists New York law firms with public information about their offices and attorneys. We link to it for readers who need a lawyer, but no firm pays to appear on this site.
How the site is funded
The site is free to use and is supported by advertising served by Google AdSense. Advertisers have no influence on the statistics or on what we write. Ads are clearly separated from the content and never appear on the home page.
Corrections and questions
If you spot a figure that looks wrong, a street name that is misspelled or a page that should exist, please tell us through the contact page. You can read exactly how we build each figure on our methodology page.
