How were these numbers calculated?

We analyzed NYC’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets — Crashes (h9gi-nx95), Persons (f55k-p6yu), and Vehicles (bm4k-52h4) — for incidents occurring between 2022-01-01 and 2025-09-26 within New York State Senate District 18. We used CrashCount’s district boundary to spatially filter records, then counted crashes, injuries, serious injuries, and deaths. Data were last extracted on Sep 25, 2025. You can view the base datasets [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95).

What policies are on the table right now?

In Albany, the Stop Super Speeders Act (S 4045) would require intelligent speed assistance devices for repeat speeders; Sen. Julia Salazar co-sponsored it and voted yes in committee. An earlier bill, S 3304, would use cameras to keep protected bike lanes clear. See the bills at [S 4045](https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2025/S4045) and [S 3304](https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2023/S3304).
