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.

According to Smart Growth America’s Dangerous by Design 2026 report, pedestrian fatalities in the United States increased by 72% between 2009 and 2024. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), bicyclist deaths have risen 73% since reaching their lowest point in 2010.

This map shows 4,877 crashes from 2016-2025 involving bicyclists and pedestrians in Monroe County. Of that, 2,567 crashes resulted in an injury or a fatality.

As of 2026, an average of 13 people die every year walking and biking in Monroe County. In total, there have been 136 fatalities and 2,430 injuries over the last 10 years. The 2025 data posted here is missing two fatal crashes we tracked through media reports that have not yet appeared in the official NYS CLEAR Crash database.

While the total number of crashes involving bicyclists and pedestrians declined by 3.5% compared to the last 10 years period, the number of fatal crashes increased by 9.5% in the same period.

We must do better.
