Yes.  Click the 3 dots in the top right corner of a table or graph and select Export data…   Select desired options in the Export Data dialog box; then click OK.  You can open or save the resulting file.

Yes, crash data by municipality are available here:  TSSR Page > Crash Reports > Other Reports > Crash Data by County and Municipality.  For crash data at the street level, NYS government employees can request access to NYS DOT’s Accident Location and Information System (ALIS), here:  https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/operating/osss/highway/alis .  Others can request crash data from DOT’s FOIL office:  https://www.dot.ny.gov/main/foil-form-challenge .

Fatalities refer to people, whereas crashes refer to the crash event. One fatal crash (the event) may involve more than one vehicle and more than one fatality.

Fatalities and persons injured refer to people, whereas crashes refer to the crash event.  One fatal crash (the event) may involve more than one vehicle and more than one fatality.  Similarly, one personal injury crash may involve more than one vehicle and more than one person injured.  If more than one person is killed/injured in a crash, the most severe injury level is used to set crash severity.

The FARS fatality numbers include persons who died in crashes involving snowmobiles and ATVs, while the NYS AIS numbers do not.  Also, the annual AIS/TSSR crash data are finalized in September of the following year; whereas the annual FARS data are finalized in the fall of the second following year.  For example, crash data for 2017 were finalized in the TSSR by September 2018 and will be finalized in FARS during fall 2019.

ITSMR provides data on police-reported fatal and personal injury crashes and select tickets issued by law enforcement agency at https://www.itsmr.org/pts-data-form/.  These data include numbers of crashes submitted to the DMV that were “reportable,” meaning a motor vehicle crash reported by a police officer or a motorist, in which there was a fatality, a person injured, and/or property damage of more than $1,000 to the vehicle of one person.  Crashes that occurred in parking lots or on private property are excluded.  The ticket counts include only those tickets issued by the police agency and submitted to the DMV.

In the TSSR ITSMR also provides Crash Data by County and Municipality and Ticket Data by County and Municipality.  The crash data here include reportable crashes that occurred within the municipality, regardless of the agency that submitted the crash reports.  The ticket data here include the municipality where the tickets were issued, regardless of the agency that submitted the tickets.  In the TSSR report County Traffic Tickets — Select Violations by Enforcement Agency, tables show TSLED tickets issued by enforcement agency and submitted to the DMV.

Tickets submitted to the DMV after DMV has given ITSMR the okay to finalize the ticket data for a calendar year will not appear in that year’s totals.

Not at this time in the TSSR.  However, NYS government employees can request access to NYS DOT’s Accident Location and Information System (ALIS), here:  https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/operating/osss/highway/alis . Others can request crash data from DOT’s FOIL office:  https://www.dot.ny.gov/main/foil-form-challenge .

The TSSR currently contains information about motor vehicle crashes and traffic tickets issued to motorists on New York’s roadways beginning in 2009. The crash data are obtained from the Accident Information System (AIS) maintained by the Department of Motor Vehicles.  The ticket data reflect information captured by three systems:

1. Traffic Safety Law Enforcement and Disposition (TSLED), maintained by the DMV
2. Administrative Adjudication (AA), maintained by the DMV
3. A third system that captures data about impaired driving tickets issued in New York City, maintained by the NYPD.

Preliminary crash data are added to the repository monthly. It is important to note that the monthly updates to the preliminary data will include new or additional information, with the final counts for the year traditionally being available in September of the following year. You can find the current snapshot date on the TSSR page > Data Sources.  Traffic ticket data are updated quarterly.

In addition to data on crashes statewide or at the county level, you can see reports on different types of crashes, including motorcycle, pedestrian, bicycle and large truck crashes, as well as alcohol-related, drug-related, and speed-related crashes. The reports provide a variety of data, including

• Number of persons killed and injured, by their role in the crash (driver, passenger, pedestrian, bicyclist) and by age
• Driver age and gender
• Safety equipment used (restraints and helmets)
• Day of week/time of day of the crash
• Crash contributing factors

You can see ticket reports at the statewide and county levels, showing the overall numbers of traffic tickets issued and separate totals for speeding, cell phone, texting, safety restraints, and impaired driving citations.  For selected types of tickets a variety of information is displayed, including

• Enforcement agencies that issued the tickets
• Tickets by section of law
• Driver age and gender
• Driver license jurisdiction
• Region
• Day of week/time of day
• Month
• Tickets issued for companion violations
• Adjudication status and conviction rates

No, the data in the alcohol-related and drug-related reports are not mutually exclusive because some crashes involve both alcohol and drugs.  However, for data on the total number of crashes involving alcohol and/or drugs, see the separate reports on Impaired Crashes at the Statewide and County levels on the TSSR Page > Crash Reports.

A speed-related crash is a crash where the police checked Unsafe Speed as a contributing factor on the police accident report and/or a crash where a driver was issued a ticket for speeding. Therefore, crashes where Unsafe Speed is a contributing factor are a subset of all speed-related crashes.

No. Air bags are passive restraints; if the use of a seat belt or other “active” safety equipment is not reported in conjunction with an airbag, reports of “air bag deployed” are included under “No Restraint Used.”

Yes, several sections on safety equipment use are available on the TSSR Page > Crash Reports, under Statewide Crashes and County Crashes.

Yes.  You can submit a request to the Department of Motor Vehicles or the Department of Transportation.

Although the Department of Health captures additional data related to motor vehicle crashes, such as detailed injury data, the data are not publicly available because of confidentiality rules.

Yes.  We have added a breakdown by injury severity to the Fatalities/Persons Injured sections as well as to the Safety Equipment Use sections in both the Statewide and the County reports.

• Section 1192.1 – DWAI (Driving while ability impaired)
• Section 1192.2 – Per Se  (Driving with BAC equal to or greater than 0.08)
• Section 1192.2aa – Aggravated DWI (Driving with BAC equal to or greater than 0.18)
• Section 1192.2ab – Aggravated DWI (Driving with BAC equal to or greater than 0.18 and having a child age 15 or younger in the vehicle)
• Section 1192.3 – DWI (Driving while intoxicated)

• Section 1192.4 – DWAI (Driving while ability impaired by drugs)
• Section 1192.4a – Driving while ability impaired by combined influence of alcohol and drugs

Report Type allows you to filter the results in the tables by just police crash reports (select Police-Reported Crashes), or by the default, All Reportable Crashes (select Clear Filter), which include both police crash reports and motorist crash reports. Some of the tables include data that are available only from police crash reports. For more information see the TSSR User Guide.

Year allows you to filter the results in the tables by a single year (the default is the most recent finalized year of crash data) or by multiple years.  Uncheck the boxes to view all the years in the repository. For more information see the TSSR User Guide.

Data for years that are not yet finalized are tagged “Preliminary” until the file is complete and the final clean-up has been conducted. Data are typically finalized by September of the following year.

Crash data for years that have been finalized will remain the same, but crash data for years labeled Preliminary* may change based on new information. Check the current snapshot date on the TSSR page > Data Sources.

The TSSR does not contain real-time data.  Preliminary crash data are refreshed monthly.  Check the current snapshot date on the TSSR page > Data Sources.

In many cases, the numbers for an individual county are so small that showing them in bar charts is not useful.  Complete data for each county is available in tabular form in the County Crash Summary reports.

No, the in-memory server provides fast data analysis.
