Arizona - Public Crash Fact Dashboards Overview

Written by Lauren Miller

The Arizona Department of Transportation has created Crash Fact Dashboards for the years 2006-2025 to help visualize and share crash reporting information with the public. Each Crash Fact Dashboard provides crash, person, and vehicle data from crashes occurring in the specified year that occurred on Arizona’s public roadways. Each dashboard provides data visualizations, crash mapping, and easy-to-use filtering, allowing users to find various crash data for a specific city, county, or Tribal Agency.

Note: The year of the Crash Facts Dashboard you’re viewing is displayed in the default filter in the top-left corner. This filter identifies the dashboard year and cannot be changed or removed.

To view crash data for another year, visit the Crash Facts Dashboard for that year:

Interactive Chart Filters

Additionally, the charts in a Dashboard serve as interactive filters. Clicking on an element of a chart applies the selected value as a filter.

Tables

Some metrics display crash-level numbers, while others display person-level data. Pay attention to the column header to determine what each metric represents. For example, in the Arizona Crash Highlights table, the first five metrics count crash-level injury severity, while the remaining three metrics count the number of injured persons in each crash. Click the name of a column header to change the ranking of the metrics between ascending and descending order. If a column header title is cut off, hover over it to display a tooltip containing the full name.
