Traffic Crashes Information

The information in this map is for the time period July 1, 2014 through three months from the present. We will upload new data each month, always three months behind to allow for data verification. Once we have a complete calendar year's worth of data, the "year" button will be enabled.

For the purposes of this map, "crash" is defined as a traffic incident in the City of Boston that resulted in a response by Boston Emergency Medical Services. These include incidents on streets owned by the City, as well as incidents on state-owned roadways. Note the following:

1, Only one dot per incident is shown, regardless of the number of patients
2, If there was more than one patient per incident, the mode is assigned to the most vulnerable user (i.e. pedestrians more vulnerable than bicyclists more vulnerable than motorists)

"Fatalities" includes traffic fatalities that occurred on city-owned streets as reported by Boston Police Department. We are in the process of including fatalities on state-owned roadways with the exception of interstate highways.

Please note that the data and information on this website is for informational purposes only. While we seek to provide accurate information, please note that errors may be present and information presented may not be complete. Accordingly, the City of Boston makes no representation as to the accuracy of the information or its suitability for any purpose and disclaim any liability for omissions or errors that may be contained therein.

Safety Safety Design Information

Leading Pedestrian Interval Signals
Intersections where DOT installs signals that show a walk sign for pedestrians before showing a green light to vehicle traffic. The goal of these signals is to improve street safety by giving pedestrians a chance to establish their presence in the crosswalk before vehicles make turns across that crosswalk.

Street Improvement Projects
Safety-oriented engineering improvements that use multiple treatments (signals, markings, concrete etc) on both corridors and intersections. Improvements are generally aimed at better organizing traffic, improving travel times, creating shorter, safer pedestrian crossings, and safe routes for bicycle travel. The map displays operational (non-capital) projects from 2013 and 2014

Arterial Slow Zones
The Arterial Slow Zone program uses a combination of a lower speed limit, signal timing changes, distinctive signs and increased enforcement to improve safety on some of New York City's most high-crash corridors.

Speed Humps
Speed Humps are a raised area of a roadway designed to reduce vehicle speeds. Only speed humps created since 2013 are displayed.

Safe Streets for Seniors
The Safe Streets for Seniors program is an initiative aimed at increasing safety for older New Yorkers. Based on factors such as senior population density, injury crashes, and senior trip generators, DOT has selected and studied 25 Senior Pedestrian Focus Areas. Within these areas, DOT evaluates potential safety improvements and also conducts education outreach to senior centers.

Neighborhood Slow Zones
The Neighborhood Slow Zone program is an application based program which takes a neighborhood area and reduces the speed limit to 20 mph. Areas are chosen based on crashes, presence of schools and other neighborhood amenities, and community support. The treatments include a mixture of markings, signage, and speed humps.

Outreach & Education

Outreach Information

Schools
DOT is conducting outreach to numerous schools in the five boroughs, using age-appropriate materials to educate school children about traffic safety.

Senior Centers
DOT is partnering with Senior Centers across New York City to increase communication and obtain specific feedback from older New Yorkers about the challenges they face and potential street safety improvements.

Taxi & Car Service Trainings
Taxi fleets, for-hire vehicle bases, and industry associations have been welcoming TLC into their establishments to discuss Vision Zero and traffic safety. TLC staff use a presentation to guide this discussion, and at the end of the session drivers sign the TLC Safe Driver Pledge.

Town Hall Meetings
In Spring 2014, DOT partnered with New York City Councilmembers across the five boroughs to host a number of Town Halls, where community members could come learn more about Vision Zero and give specific suggestions or concerns regarding traffic safety in their neighborhoods.

Workshops
In Spring 2014, DOT hosted nine pedestrian safety workshops across the five boroughs aimed at gathering community feedback on areas in need of safety improvements. This feedback will be used to shape the Borough Pedestrian Safety Action Plans, to be released later in 2014.

Street Teams
Street Team members trained the general public with Vision Zero hands-on safety exercises including safe walking and biking, car safety tips and an opportunity to get inside of large delivery trucks to experience their blind spots. Vision Zero promotional materials were handed out along with educational handouts.

Hands-On Safety Demos
Hands-on safety demonstrations are held in conjunction with local partners throughout New York City, bringing traffic safety education and assistance directly to the public. Events include car safety seat fittings, bicycle helmet fittings and giveaways, truck safety and car safety demonstrations, Vision Zero table seminars and DWI awareness events.
