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 for Police Precinct 70 and the period 2022-01-01 to 2025-09-18. We counted deaths, serious injuries, modes, contributing factors, times of day, and corridor totals from those filtered records. Data was accessed Sep 18, 2025. You can view an example filtered query [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/h9gi-nx95.csv?$select=count(*)&$where=precinct=70%20and%20crash_date%20between%20%272022-01-01%27%20and%20%272025-09-18%27).

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 should be fixed first?

Daylight corners, add leading pedestrian intervals, and harden turns at Flatbush Avenue and Bedford Avenue. Target failure‑to‑yield enforcement at these locations. [NYC Open Data](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95)

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.
