California Traffic Safety Dashboard

The California Traffic Safety Dashboard is a series of tools designed by UC Berkeley SafeTREC to allow users to visualize crash data and traffic safety activities in conjunction with demographics in California. The Traffic Safety and Equity Overview Tool consists of a series of dashboards that allow users to access both detailed crash and demographic information on the region of choice while also ranking different geographic regions by various fatality and serious injury metrics. The Safety Heat Map allows for a more detailed analysis by creating interactive heat maps utilizing crash and demographic data as well as traffic safety improvement activities in California. Finally, the OTS Grants Clearinghouse serves as a platform where California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) officials and grantees can access historical grant data.

The following Tools are currently available: 

  • Traffic Safety and Equity Overview

  • Safety Heat Map

  • OTS Grants Clearinghouse
