Motor Vehicle Accidents

The accident data are compiled from the accident reports submitted to the NYSDMV by motorists and police agencies. The accident data are released after a complete calendar year is compiled. The data for the year 2008 are the most current available.

Some of the other information, for example, the numbers for population and vehicle miles traveled, is collected from other government agencies.

NOTE: It is important to note that the data for 2008 are comparable to the data for 2007, but not to earlier years due changes in data collection and reporting that began during 2006.
