Sources: NY Open Data, Motor Vehicle Crashes — Case Information 2021–2024,
geocoded to NYSDOT reference markers (86% match rate) — state routes only; the Thruway and local/town
roads carry no public markers, so they appear in the fatal layer only. Fatal crashes: NHTSA FARS census
2021–2024, all public roads. Pedestrian/bicycle counts: crashes with a recorded pedestrian or bicyclist
action. Crash counts describe reported crashes and make no claim about fault.
