How were these numbers calculated?

We analyzed NYC Open Data’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets (Crashes h9gi-nx95, Persons f55k-p6yu, Vehicles bm4k-52h4) for Jan 1, 2022–Sep 11, 2025, filtered to Assembly District 50’s geography (Greenpoint, Williamsburg, South Williamsburg, and CB1) using our site’s boundary mapping. We tallied total crashes, injuries, deaths, serious injuries, time-of-day patterns, and top locations. Data were last extracted Sep 10, 2025. You can explore the base crash dataset [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95).

We're a tool for helping hold local politicians and other actors accountable for their failure to protect you when you're walking or cycling in NYC. We update our site constantly to provide you with up to date information on what's happening in your neighborhood.

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.

👍 Positive

StreetsPAC dropped its slate before the June 23 primary. It backed candidates who talk about safer streets and less car rule. It was politics, not policy. No street changed that day.

Emily Gallagher Hails Safety‑Boosting Stop Super Speeders Law
👍 Positive
2026-05-27 · Leadership · Streetsblog Empire State · ↑ helps grade
Albany made NYC target repeat school-zone speeders. After 16 camera hits in a year, drivers can be ordered to install speed governors. Skip it, and registration can be yanked. It aims at the worst speed that maims and kills.
Gallagher Backs Safety‑Boosting Stop Super Speeders Proposal
👍 Positive
2026-05-11 · Leadership · Streetsblog Empire State · ↑ helps grade
A plan targets drivers with 16 speed-camera tickets in 12 months. It would order a speed governor after the 16th hit. But the piece says weak rules and weak follow-through could leave repeat speeding on the street.
