MVRPC analyzes crash data to help improve transportation safety and inform the planning process. These analyses are the first steps towards understanding road safety conditions in the Dayton Region. A number of statistical and comparative analyses are performed on the regional crash data, which is collected from Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Ohio Department of Public Safety (ODPS) in three-year intervals. Reports below outline crash trends and a list of high-crash locations is generated, which identifies roadways that may need further examination to determine need for improvement.
SFY 2025 Regional Roadway Safety Update
The latest analysis used data of crashes reported during the years 2021 through 2023. The reports below outline safety conditions on the regional roadway network and identify high-crash locations from those three years.
Summary of Crashes from 2021 to 2023
Several trends were revealed in the analysis of crashes that occurred on regional roadway network from the years 2021 to 2023. An overview and detailed report are available.
High-Crash Locations
In the SFY 2025 High Crash Location Analysis, intersections and roadway segments were ranked based on the frequency and severity of crashes. These high-crash locations were prioritized as low, medium, and high priority, which include 163 intersections and 206 segments. These priority high-crash locations are displayed in maps below, and the top 100 are listed.
Safety Resources
Many programs and resources are available to communities in the Miami Valley to advance multi-modal roadway safety priorities. In SFY 2014, MVRPC compiled a list of such safety resources that includes informational sources and funding programs, which make roadway safety improvement through one of the three “Es” (Engineering, Education, and Enforcement).
