How many people have been hurt or killed on Staten Island roads since 2022?

From Jan 1, 2022 through Sep 27, 2025, Staten Island recorded 57 deaths and 9,043 injuries in 17,351 reported crashes, according to NYC Open Data.

What does 2025 look like so far on Staten Island?

Year‑to‑date, Staten Island has 3,299 crashes with 10 deaths, 1,976 injuries, and 26 serious injuries, compared with 3,426 crashes, 11 deaths, 1,692 injuries, and 14 serious injuries by this time last year, based on NYC Open Data.

Which policies could change this pattern now?

Two steps are ready: 1) use Sammy’s Law authority to lower NYC’s default residential speed limit to 20 MPH; 2) pass the Stop Super Speeders Act to require intelligent speed assistance for repeat speeders. See details and sources on our [Take Action page](/take_action/).

How were these numbers calculated?

We used NYC Open Data’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets: Crashes (h9gi‑nx95), Persons (f55k‑p6yu), and Vehicles (bm4k‑52h4). We filtered records where the borough equals Staten Island and crash dates fall between 2022‑01‑01 and 2025‑09‑27. We summed deaths and injuries and compared year‑to‑date (2025‑01‑01 to 2025‑09‑27) to the same period in 2024. You can reproduce the counts using filtered queries linked [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/h9gi-nx95.csv?$select=count(1),sum(number_of_persons_injured),sum(number_of_persons_killed)&$where=boro%20=%20%27STATEN%20ISLAND%27%20and%20crash_date%20between%20%272025-01-01T00:00:00%27%20and%20%272025-09-27T23:59:59%27), and explore related breakdowns in the Persons dataset [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/f55k-p6yu.csv?$select=person_type,injury_severity,count(1)&$where=borough%20=%20%27Staten%20Island%27%20and%20crash_date%20between%20%272022-01-01T00:00:00%27%20and%20%272025-09-27T23:59:59%27&$group=person_type,injury_severity).

What Crashes Cost Here Loading estimate...

Loading crash cost estimate...

The three blocks below show direct costs, other harm, and the total for crashes with injuries, crashes without injuries, and all crashes together.

Loading estimate...

How we calculate this

We calculate these costs using a method developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA. It gives one set of costs for crashes with injuries and another for crashes with no reported injuries.

Crashes with injuries cost much more because the method includes things like lost work, medical care, and long-term harm. NHTSA says crash costs include "lost productivity, medical, legal and court costs, emergency service, insurance administration, congestion, property damage, and workplace losses."

These are estimates, not bills. "Other harm" is the part of the broader estimate that goes beyond direct bills and insurance claims. It captures pain, disability, and lost quality of life.
