CARS KILL NYC is a data visualization designed to show how many New Yorkers are injured or killed by cars each day in New York City. These injuries and deaths are completely avoidable. In a city like New York, where public transit is widely accesible and bicycles are a realistic commuting option, we don't need cars to get around most of the time. Data for CARS KILL NYC is collected from NYC Open Data. This data only reflects crashes reported to the NYPD. It is updated daily.
