Monroe County Crash Map

Reconnect Rochester is pleased to host this Monroe County Crash Map to raise awareness and support local advocacy efforts around safe streets in our community.

In the U.S., pedestrian fatalities have skyrocketed, increasing by 75% since 2010. This map shows that in Monroe County, 5,132 crashes from 2014-2023 involved bicyclists and pedestrians (2,279 resulted in injury or fatality). On average, thirteen people die on our local streets every year as a result of these crashes. In 2023, this number rose to 20 fatalities. Compared to the 10 year period of 2013-2022, there were 130 fewer crashes involving bicyclists and pedestrians, but an 8% increase in injuries and fatalities. We must do better.

NOTE: Source data is from the NYS CLEAR Crash Data, obtained through a freedom of information law request. All crash locations and crash details reflect information provided in the source database. Larger icons indicate a collision resulting in at least one fatality.
