Crash Reports and Statistics
Thousands of crashes happen each year on Idaho roads. Police responding to these crashes file the information with OHS for record keeping and statistical analysis. OHS uses this information to help make data-driven decisions that affect Idaho’s transportation system and the people who use it. Accessing and understanding data is an important part of making safe choices. In an effort to help educate the public, the Office of Highway Safety makes its crash data publicly available online, and in print.
A Vehicle Crash Report (VCR) is filled out for every crash that involves a motor vehicle, occurs on public property and results in more than $1500 property damage ($750 before January 1, 2006) for any one person involved in the crash or results in an injury or fatality to any person involved. Law enforcement officers who respond to crashes identify a number of factors that contributed to the crash. These factors encompass all three aspects of the crash: environment (including location and road conditions), vehicle, and personal information.
Once a crash report is completed, the responding law enforcement agency transmits the information to OHS electronically where the report is reviewed by a crash analyst. The crash analyst then checks the report for accuracy before entering the information into Idaho’s crash database.
Crash Dashboard
The ITD Crash Data Dashboards are an online resource showing crash trends and data. The dashboard contains a series of dynamic charts, graphs, and maps. Users can apply their own filters to crash data for custom searches. By default, the dashboard shows the last five full years of data.
Annual Traffic Data Reports and Surveys
OHS publishes the Annual Traffic Crash Report for Idaho. This report tabulates, analyzes and summarizes the various aspects of traffic collisions. OHS also conducts observational seat belt surveys every year. The surveys are conducted at 100 sites throughout the state. The surveys are used to estimate seat belt usage throughout the state.
