Street Safety: Traffic Crashes Involving...
The Street Safety: All Traffic Crashes indicator measures the total number of traffic crash incidents each year in the Champaign-Urbana metropolitan planning area (MPA) and Champaign County. The Champaign-Urbana MPA includes the Cities of Champaign and Urbana, and the Villages of Bondville, Mahomet, Savoy, and Tolono. Street safety is an important part of community safety, especially as interest in and use of alternative means of transportation increase.
The number of crashes and injuries involving bicycles and pedestrians decreased overall in both the MPA and Champaign County in 2020 compared to recent years. However, the number of bicyclist and pedestrian crash fatalities increased in 2020, with the number of bicycle fatalities being the highest in 2020 in the measured timeframe. The beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 reduced the number of crashes and injuries presumably due to fewer drivers commuting to work, but some of those crashes were more severe since the number of fatalities increased.
