Traffic Crashes

Goal

Our goal is to maintain or decrease the amount of traffic crashes that occur in the city.

This is measured by running a monthly report in our records management system. We monitor this monthly.

Trends

Despite total calls for service increasing, our total number of crashes continues to decline each year. This is a result of traffic enforcement, community engagement, and an overall team effort from the various divisions of the city. Drilling down on the visual above to the Quarter level you can see that the 4th quarter (October, November, December) is always the highest for accidents. This could be due to weather conditions and the increased amount of travel during the holiday season.
