Interactive Crash Data Tool

In the past, collecting and analyzing crash data was a difficult and time-consuming process because there was no central location for information on pedestrian and bicycle crashes. Thanks to the capabilities of technology and investment by the Division of Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation, information from more than 9,000 recent bicycle and pedestrian crashes with motor vehicles has been compiled to create an interactive database that covers the whole state of North Carolina.

This unique resource is designed for researching and analyzing bicycle and pedestrian crash data in North Carolina. The data bank allows queries of the cross-tabulated information by city, county, state, and other variables. For example, you can create your own tables of crash facts related to age, gender, race, injury severity, type of roadway, and type of crash for both bicyclist and pedestrian crashes.

Created and housed at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, this resource puts important data at the fingertips of planners, engineers, government officials, and citizens who are interested in analyzing bicycle and pedestrian crashes in their communities.
