Tracking progress is essential to achieving the vision of safer streets for everyone. The Memphis Safety Action Plan established a shared roadmap for reducing fatal and serious injury crashes and ultimately eliminating traffic deaths and life-altering injuries on Memphis roadways. This page provides a transparent way to monitor progress toward that vision by tracking changes in crash trends over time and measuring outcomes against the plan’s goals.
As implementation moves forward, progress tracking will expand beyond crash data to include information on safety projects, infrastructure improvements, programs, and other strategies that support safer streets. Together, these measures will help residents, decision-makers, and community stakeholders understand where progress is being made, identify areas requiring additional attention, and support continued investment in a safer transportation system for all.
