New York City TLC Vehicle Crash Reports by Industry and Month

TLC Vehicles Involved in Crashes aggregates crash reports involving TLC-licensed vehicles in New York City, broken down by industry and month. The dataset includes counts for total crashes, crashes with any injury, critical injuries, and fatalities. It is published by data.cityofnewyork.us and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze crash trends over time using the `year_month` column to identify seasonal patterns in `total_crashes`.
• Compare safety performance across different `industry` segments by calculating injury rates from `crashed_vehicles_any_injury`.
• Model the relationship between `total_crashed_vehicles` and severe outcomes like `crashed_vehicles_critical_injury` or `crashed_vehicles_fatality`.
• Benchmark the frequency of fatal crashes (`crashed_vehicles_fatality`) against total crash volume (`total_crashes`) for policy evaluation.

Strengths

• Data is disaggregated by seven specific columns including injury severity levels.
• Provides a temporal breakdown via the `year_month` column for time-series analysis.

Limitations

• Sample size and total row count are unknown, limiting statistical confidence.
• Data is aggregated, preventing analysis of individual crash circumstances or vehicle details.
• Potential for double-counting as multiple TLC vehicles can be involved in a single crash.
