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.

NYSERDA cut off implementation cash. The city’s first e-bike subsidy pilot froze. Low-income riders lost a planned path to legal, affordable e-bikes.

NYSERDA gave planning cash, then cut off the build. Bike New York’s “Ride Clean New York” sits on paper. Riders in transit-poor and low-income areas keep waiting while car traffic keeps the edge.

Recent win: A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring the New York city police department to provide the civilian complaint review board with direct access to officer body-warn camera footage and to establish related procedures

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring the New York city police department to provide the civilian complaint review board with direct access to officer body-warn camera footage and to establish related procedures
👍 Positive
2025-11-12 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar · ↑ helps grade
Greater CCRB access to body‑camera footage can improve accountability and reduce biased or harmful traffic enforcement against pedestrians and cyclists, supporting equity and willingness to walk/bike. Effects on crash prevention and driver behavior are indirect and likely modest.

Int 1421-2025 would let restaurants and grocery stores run sidewalk and roadway cafes in curb or parking lanes year‑round. It speeds reviews, sets $1,050 fees and four‑year terms, and pushes dining closer to moving traffic — raising risks for pedestrians and cyclists.
A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to expanding access to roadway and sidewalk cafes
• Neutral
2025-10-09 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar
Year‑round expansion of roadway/sidewalk cafes can calm traffic and create buffers that benefit pedestrians, but also risks obstructing sidewalks, complicating winter operations, and creating conflicts near bike lanes. Net safety effects for vulnerable users hinge on strict clear-path, loading, and bike-lane protection rules and enforcement.
