Abstract

This report addresses two parts of the City of Minneapolis’ Vision Zero program: analyzing recent crash data to update and build on crash data reporting from 2007-2016, and making recommendations for a program to systematically and equitably prioritize resident requests for traffic calming improvements. The High Injury Network and ACP50 Census Tracts are important indicators for directing Vision Zero resources. Over half of all crashes in Minneapolis occurred on the High Injury Network (excluding crashes on interstates and roadways exclusive to vehicles). Sixty-five percent of severe and fatal crashes occurred within 20 meters of the High Injury Network. Although 28 percent of the population lives in ACP50 Census Tracts, over 42 percent of all severe injury and fatal crashes occurred there. Seventy percent of ACP50 Census Tracts have a crash rate of over 200 crashes per 1,000 residents. Each year between 2016 and 2018 saw an increase in severe injury and fatal crashes. This is accounted for by new crash recording practices that prompt responding officers to more accurately identify a severe crash. Bicycle- and pedestrian-involved crashes decreased from 2016 to 2018, while crashes involving only vehicles increased.
