The source for this data is Struck in DC, which has been tracking crashes on Twitter since June 1. While it is not a comprehensive listing of all pedestrian and cyclist incidents, Struck in DC does keep tabs on reports from DC Fire/EMS and other sources.

The goal is to raise awareness of the approximately 8-12 pedestrians struck daily and the room for improvement in data collection of bicycle and pedestrian crashes in the District.

If you know of a crash that wasn't mapped here, report it to Struck in DC. For a tally of Struck in DC crashes we have recorded this year, please view the spreadsheet.

Stephen Miller lived in the District from 2008 to 2011 and is now a student at Pratt Institute's city and regional planning masters program.
