Data on location and frequency of serious injuries on Toronto roadways are analyzed to proactively identify locations of possible safety concerns where efforts should be focused. Small factors such as size and speed of vehicle, age of person being hit, weather and lighting can be the difference between a serious injury and a fatality [1].
Killed or Seriously Injured (KSI) data has a delay from date of occurrence to being officially verified and reported. For fatalities the usual time period for data to display accurately on the table is 1-2 weeks unless the collision is under investigation by the Toronto Police and for seriously injured the time period is 6 months or more. Other factors can also contribute to inaccurate data being displayed, if you believe there is a data error after the time periods above have elapsed please email visionzeroto@toronto.ca.
Fatalities resulting from collisions involving people cycling or using micromobility devices where no motor vehicle was involved are included in this dashboard as of January 1, 2024. As these incidents are not typically recorded through standard motor vehicle collision reporting processes, available information may be limited and is compiled from available police and public sources. Serious injury collisions involving people cycling or using micromobility devices where no motor vehicle was involved are only included when reported through standard collision reporting processes.
[1] Starting in 2014, the Toronto Police Service made amendments to collision reporting practices that made the criteria for reportable collisions stricter, likely resulting in less reported collisions. For this reason, there may be inconsistencies in data between years prior to 2014 and those after.
