Motor Vehicle Crashes by Facility, Port Authority of NY NJ: Beginning 2000

The Port Authority of NY & NJ annually reports on motor vehicle crashes throughout its facilities. The data reported in this dataset represents motor vehicle crashes of vehicles in transport on public trafficways within Port Authority jurisdiction. A crash is a harmful event which involves a motor vehicle in transport that strikes another motor vehicle, other property, debris, animal, pedestrian, or bicyclist, or in which a motor vehicle overturns (rolls over), jackknifes, catches fire or explodes while within the trafficway.

Querying over HTTP

Splitgraph serves as an HTTP API that lets you run SQL queries directly on this data to power Web applications. For example:

curl https://data.splitgraph.com/sql/query/ddn \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d@-<<EOF
{"sql": "
    SELECT *
    FROM \"ny-gov/motor-vehicle-crashes-by-facility-port-authority-n4ys-au5c\".\"motor_vehicle_crashes_by_facility_port_authority\"
    LIMIT 100 
"}
EOF

Upstream Metadata
NotesNotesThe dataset provides only a count of the motor vehicle crashes and does not serve as a measure of traffic safety. It would be misleading to utilize the numeric value to gauge traffic safety without accounting for varying exposure to risks or conflicts. An exposure element, such as the number of vehicles using the roadway over a given time and distance, generally is combined with number of crashes to obtain a crash rate. Neither the exposure element nor the crash rate is provided in the dataset. The number of crashes at one facility should not be measured against the number of crashes at another facility, nor should it be compared to other highways or non-Port Authority facilities. Each facility varies in geometric and operational characteristics, therefore the roadway environment and operational conditions to drivers are different, which means there are different contributing factors that influence the number of crashes.

DisclaimersDisclaimerThe dataset includes only motor vehicle crashes on public trafficways that involve a motor vehicle in transport within Port Authority jurisdiction. Not all reported incidents are considered a crash, and not all incidents are on a public trafficway. The dataset is derived from Motor Vehicle Crash Report forms that were reported by Port Authority Police. Unreported crashes are not included in this dataset.
