Vision Zero is excited to have worked closely with the University of Washington Information School to make collision data more interactive and accessible to everyone. Educating people about what is happening in their neighborhood and citywide streets is one of the key elements to making Vision Zero successful. Collision data is also one of the driving factors that we use to determine the engineering treatments and level of investments we make towards a safer transportation infrastructure.
Last night at the UW Information School Capstone event, more than 300 students presented on projects where they were presented with a problem and developed a solution to an information challenge for a client in a community.
Currently, many years’ worth of collision data is publicly available at data.seattle.gov and the Vision Zero dashboard is currently located in performance.seattle.gov
The new website will be available soon for everyone to use and learn more about the police reported collisions that have happened in your area. Here’s a preview of what’s to come:
