The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) is unveiling a new public-facing data dashboard with interactive maps to more easily find information used in our citywide transportation plan and in our Vision Zero safety work.  

The tool shows that from June 20, 2022 to June 19, 2025 there were 19,227 crashes in the City of Seattle, with 7822 injuries and 87 fatalities. Users can drill down (presumably though in our test the tool was not working properly) into specific areas you can specify for data.

In SDOT's press release they say:

With this new user-friendly tool, SDOT hopes to improve transparency and empower the community to track progress, hold us accountable, and contribute to meaningful safety improvements citywide.  

Who does this benefit? Everyone. Researchers, journalists, lawyers, and curious citizens are invited to explore our data sets, dating as far back as 2000, to help us gain new insights and build a better future.  

 

The dashboard includes:  

• Crash Analysis: An inventory of all collision records from the Seattle Police Department.  

• Road Segment Counts: A set of vehicle volumes in specific locations, based on the hundreds of traffic volume counts we conduct across our city each year.  

• Intersection Counts: The number of people turning and crossing at key intersections, based on the hundreds of intersection counts we conduct across our city each year. These are also referred to as turning movement counts.  

While data is added on an ongoing basis, please allow up to a year for all available data to populate in the dashboards.
